6 Curvy Models Who Changed The World's Perspective On Fashion

by Maryjane 2 weeks ago

The modeling industry is one of the most dynamic areas of our lives. It has evolved from curvaceous models with hourglass shapes in the 1950s to slender models in the 1990s.

Today's fashion industry is evolving to meet the new body image, which is defined by self-acceptance and body positivity. Ashley Graham, Paloma Elsesser, Candice Huffine, and other influencers are demonstrating that the fashion industry is ready for major changes, which are already taking place.

It is important to realize that we should promote diversity and inclusion regarding beauty standards because diversity and inclusion are not passing fads but rather the way we should really be operating in today's life. After all, nothing will change unless we speak up—and compel society to reconsider the perceptions of beauty and fashion.

Curvy models are frequently the outliers in an ocean of slim women. As per the Fashion Spot's 2019 diversity report, only 50 plus-size models have featured on 18 different 2019 runways during the Fall season in New York, London, Paris, and Milan, accounting for 0.69 percent of all models.

This underrepresentation in fashion contrasts sharply with real women's bodies: the average American woman wears a size 16 to 18. Don't even get us started on how fashion disregards large breasts.

While sample sizes continue to rule the runway, some models have made strides in countering beauty ideals. We've compiled a list of six curvy models who have challenged and ultimately changed the game.

Fashion is changing gradually in terms of variety and representation, thanks largely to industry trailblazers like these curvaceous celebrities. While fashion still has a bit of a way to go, it's encouraging to see more busty, body-positive women in the spotlight.

Even industry leaders are emphasizing the importance of greater diversity. Which other curvy celebrities do you think we should have included?
