Plus-size models are individuals who typically wear larger clothing sizes, often starting at size 14 and above. They represent a diverse range of body types and promote body positivity in the fashion industry. These models challenge traditional beauty standards and help to create a more inclusive representation of beauty. The rise of plus-size models has led to increased visibility in various media, including runway shows, advertisements, and magazines. Brands like Avenue and Torrid specifically cater to plus-size consumers, while mainstream brands are also beginning to feature plus-size models in their campaigns, reflecting a shift towards greater inclusivity.
