当我们提及时装模特儿，多数人将自动地考虑有亭亭玉立的身体的模型。 交换您的电视，多数广告显示仅模型与滴漏形象。 我们很少也看见杂志以模型为特色以我们在街道看-从皮包骨头到超重的正常身体形状。
实际上， 稀薄的模型是臭名远扬的为 厌食. 但， before我们把手指指向猫走的模型为主张超稀薄的身体，我们了解什么是模型的作业功能。 模型应该穿着样品衣物，并且这些衣裳由设计师做。 如此，大多这些衣裳仅在一大小，通常是小型减少花费。 一旦那些样品为大量生产被选择，他们将被做对终端用户’大小，可以是更小，但通常更大的。 如此，如果我们必须有问题的起因， 我们在中等大小必须告诉设计师做这些样品衣裳，而不是异常小型. 并且，在时装表演，人们应该注意了衣裳而不是所谓的“人的衣物挂衣架”。 然而，在真实，是另一个方式。
所以，和我认为一样多典型代理处在创造不健康的“模型应该担负责任必须是稀薄的”悟性，它是做了陈腔滥调共同性也是的公众。 什么我意味，需求。 如果许多可能收下出现于广告牌的一个肥胖妇女佩带的猜测或CK牛仔裤，我是肯定的广告的公司将参与更多加上大小模型’服务。 当然，用一个更加道德的方式和不设法取笑他们象这样 酸奶广告.
许多认为那加上大小从未做它的女孩意志大当时装模特儿。 然而，这个女孩， Jen猎人，尝试了对质询了共同的悟性。
做我一超级名模 是一个普遍的现实电视展示在英国。 通过展示在年2006年， 24年大小12 Jen猎人变得著名。 她有在塑造的世界被考虑加上大小的弯曲的大小的12。 她是5 ′ 11 ″和154磅与重要数值34， 27和38和一个梨状的身体。 她有油脂在脂肪团附近她的肚子和斑点。 她的大小在狭小通道使她的看起来笨拙。 然而，英国电视观众不同意什么法官想法。 Though the competition was won by a male model eventually, Albert, she was voted as the people’s winner in the show, making her the most popular size-12 in Britain.
Jen Hunter was then offered a 1-year contract. Cape London Model Management, which is a mainstream agency, helped her to secure work for mobile phone giant Nokia and cosmetics company Avon. However, a year later, she did not renew the contract with that model company. Why? She was not comfortable when she saw very few size-12 models in the line and the same old prejudice is still there to against plus size model.

She then joined Excel Models which focuses in larger-sized women despite her being below average size. The average size of the UK woman is between 14 to 16 and Jen Hunter is only size-12. So, what is the average model’s size?
Size 6 to 8.
I salute Jen Hunter’s determination. She let the world knows that plus size is fine, even as a model. What we need is a radical shake-up in the fashion industry. Right from the designer, model agency, clothing company to the public, everyone needs to change the mindset. I rather see a normal size and healthy model doing catwalk than someone with protruding hip bones or skeleton doing the show.

Hi Mun, thanks for this article. Agreed with you, I rather see a healthy model on the catwalk than a walking skeleton. I can watch horror movies if I want to see that … lol … Beautiful is not about being thin with bones sticking out .. To me, even a plus size woman can be beautiful. You just need to know how to bring out the best in you… =)

Dear Reena , why do you say no?
If the clothes are for ordinary person who are plus size anyway, shouldn’t you employ a plus size to model the clothes so that it looks more natural?

Who said plus size cant be beautiful? Who said plus size can’t go for modelling? It depends on how people see things and in today’s world, it’s more to stereotyping. Peoples’ mind are set to a stage that only people with nice bodyshape can go for modelling. But the real fact is, anyone can go for modelling, after all, they are going to promote items not the person itself.

Personall i don’t get why normal sized women are refered to as plus sized, surely the skinny wretches should be classed as minus sized
I just don’t understand how people that… boney can think they look good… and that’s guys as well as girls…

from my point of view, i would love to see models (doesnt matter runway models or normal ad models) to be of “average” stature. Not too skinny and definately not too plump (for lack of kinder words).
ofcourse there might be some exceptions where you would need a skinny or plump model for certain ads.. but in general, i would love to look at healthy looking models on the billboards or on tv.

Skinny models are ok in my book, but not as skinny as the one in the pic you posted wearing the orange dress. That kind of skinny is hideous.
