Plus Size Models You Need To Start Following

The plus-size industry is growing every day in the fashion industry. And it’s good to finally see every type of body represented on clothing brands.

I decided to put together a few models that don’t fit the norm because it’s time for people to know their work. We should start giving them the same hype we do to skinny models.

Ashley Graham is one of the most famous faces in the modeling industry for women who classify themselves as plus-size. Not only she is a model, she is also a Designer and a bodybuilder. She has appeared in many popular magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Vogue and Bust. You can find her on instragram (ashleygraham).

Paloma Elsesser is a British-born Swiss-American plus-size model. She was discovered by Pat McGrath to front her first beauty line, and since then she has become an outspoken voice for plus-size models through her Instagram (palomija), fronting campaigns for brands like Fenty Beauty, Glossier and Nike. And she also appeared in magazines such as Elle and Teen Vogue.
