Size 14 US Denise Bidot is the first plus-size model that walked the runway at New York Fashion Week – the brunette beauty recently opened up about the term plus-size, padding and body image.
On the meaning of “plus-sized”:
“I think other people have a problem with [the term ‘plus-size’] more than I do. I don’t care what you call me. I’m glad to even have a place in this fashion industry. Plus-size, straight-size, in-betweenie — I don’t care regardless. I’m just a woman. I’m a curvy woman, and hopefully some day they do end up cutting out the word plus-size. But, for right now it’s nice to just have a section for us.”
