"Big guys love fashion too": The 5XL model proudly shows off all her 180 kilograms
The 180-kilogram man, who was once ashamed of his weight and tried to suppress his passion for fashion, built a successful career as a plus-size model and even walked the catwalk at New York Fashion Week.
A few years ago, Arcadio Del Valle (Arcadio Del Valle) of size XXXXXL did not want to be photographed, but once again did not want to go outside. And now he has almost 8 thousand followers on Instagram. Since 2015, he has been posting fashionable bows on social networks, not being shy about his own body, and agitating other men "in the body" for this. In 2016, VOLARE, a clothing brand for overweight people, drew attention to him and invited the man to participate in Fashion Week.
Since then, Arcadio has participated in three more shows of VOLARE and Brandon Kyle. The man has become much more confident in himself and encourages other people with curvy shapes.
Some subscribers are dissatisfied with Arkadio's body-positive approach. But it doesn't bother him at all.
