Crystal Renn, the model who became a famous plus-size model after recovering from anorexia, wrote a book called ‘Hunger’ then became a body-positive advocate and wanted to change sample sizes from a 2 to an 8…. is back at work as a skinny straight-size model – here she is on the cover and inside Black Magazine.

A while back, Crystal claimed that her weight loss was not intentional:

People often call me a hypocrite ‘oh, she lost weight’. I didn’t choose this, I didn’t ask for this, this happened!

Size 14 Tara Lynn Brings Today’s Quote

On the best part of being a plus-size model:

“I like to believe that my pictures are used as an inspiration for girls who struggle with a poor self-image. It encourages them. I get a lot of messages from girls who tell me that looking at my pictures, or from one of my colleagues, makes them feel better and more secure in their body. They are happy to see someone they can identify with.”

… says Tara in Spanish Magazine S Moda.

Plus-Size Model Treat: Hayley Hasselhoff

On embracing her size 12 figure:

‘I still have bad body days,’ she explained. ‘But it’s OK to have bad days. I don’t think anyone can feel completely confident all the time. But I feel so much more connected to who I am now [than I did a few years ago]. I feel completely connected to my body and that’s been amazing to experience.’

On the ‘plus-size’ model label:

‘I embrace [the label] for what it is. I look at plus size as more of an industry word, but it doesn’t bother me, I love it. Since I have been modeling, there has always been a straight board and a plus size board of models and that isn’t something I see as being negative. That’s just the way that it is. When I speak to people in the street and they ask what I do, I sometimes get some funny remarks. But I think being plus size is a beautiful thing. And it’s an industry term, really, so I do understand why people don’t always understand it.

… says 22 year-old Hayley.

Robyn Lawley: People are surprised when I turn up on a shoot and I can model | beauty body image

On plus-size modeling:

‘Being a plus-size model in an industry where there aren’t many means there are some opportunities I wouldn’t have had otherwise. But there are also less jobs available, particularly in mainstream and high-end fashion. I know a lot of stunning girls who are not working because being a size 8 to 14 you are in no man’s land even though you have a normal, healthy body.’

People are surprised when I turn up on a shoot and I can model. But why shouldn’t I be able to do it just because I’m a size 16 (UK)? It’s disappointing as I love catwalk modelling, it’s more exciting than being on a shoot so it sucks not to be included. Plus-size models are being used more in magazines and in the media but not on the runway and not by high-end designers like Prada. I’d love them to use more curvy girls but it’s like a taboo and I don’t know why. It screams lack of diversity. It doesn’t send out a good message to teenager girls who are impressionable. They’re not coat hangers, they’re girls and it’s bad for them to only see skinny frames on the catwalk. I hope I can be a strong role model for them but there’s not enough of us plus-size models.’

… says Robyn in an interview with Mail Online.
