Luxury beauty: why plus-size models are becoming more popular
Girls with curvy shapes decorate magazine covers and star in candid photo shoots. These beauties do not go crazy, seeing the mark on the scales, and do not chew one green. They allow themselves to eat fast food and sweets without worrying about extra centimeters on the waist. Some overweight girls even specifically lean on high-calorie food to become even bigger. There is even a special modeling agency in London, where all models are far from skinny standards.

London-based modeling agency Milk Management specializes in girls with curvy figures. Its participants are not only tuned to body positivity, but also proud of their feminine forms. 26-year-old Hayley wears size 52 clothes, but does not hesitate to wear revealing and form-fitting outfits. The American woman defends the idea that big girls should shine in advertising campaigns of famous brands and participate in fashion shows. She says that beauty comes in different shapes and sizes. Felicity Hayward, 30, became one of the first plus-size models to appear in an advertisement for the famous Mac cosmetics brand. A blonde with 54 clothes size does not hesitate to show off her curvy body. Milk Agency was founded by former model Anna Shillinglow 7 years ago. Her career in the fashion industry ended when the girl turned 25, because she recovered to 44 clothing sizes. Now the owner of the agency is 41, and she remembers how offended she was when her agent offered her to become a plus-size model. But after looking at the catalogs, on the pages of which there were beauties with curvy shapes, Anna changed her mind forever. The salaries of successful plus-size models are as impressive as their bodies. The women's fashion industry of large sizes is estimated at 4.7 billion pounds (about 396.5 billion rubles). Many manufacturers try to include clothes for ladies with curvy figures in their collections. Ashley Graham became the first plus-size model to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine in the iconic swimwear section. Now she is on the 10th place in the top list of the highest paid models in the world. Beauty, literally, has changed the shape of the fashion industry. In the Milk agency, models earn from 300 to 400 pounds (30,000 to 40,000 rubles) per day. Successful models can receive up to 2,000 pounds (about 200,000 rubles). Several girls earn up to 20,000 pounds (about 2 million rubles), and one model received so much for shooting that she was able to immediately buy an apartment in London. But not everyone admires curvy figures. British journalist Piers Morgan accused the editor of Cosmopolitan magazine of "admiring morbid obesity" when model Tess Holiday weighing 150 kg appeared on the cover of the publication. 20-year-old Sonny Turner believes that full does not mean not fit. The girl regularly goes to the gym to keep herself in shape. She started modeling when she was wearing size 46 clothes. Then the beauty used special pads under her clothes to appear bigger and advertise size 50 outfits (and these are the parameters of an average British woman.) Now she no longer has to do this, because Sonny has increased her own fat. Felicity Highworth from London confidently poses in her underwear, but sometimes she is shy to admit to others that she is a model. People immediately begin to wonder how a fat woman can be a model. Anna asks the models from her agency to change something in themselves. Some people need to work on their facial expressions before signing a contract, while others need to change their hair color or straighten their teeth. Lauren Frederick wears size 50 clothes. She appeared in the advertising campaign of the Ann Summers brand and signed a contract with a modeling agency in New York. Alo Hikki started working as a fashion model at the age of 14, but soon got fat and left the fashion industry. A few years later, the girl signed a contract with the Milk agency. The 23-year-old beauty says that she gets more here than anywhere else before, but she has to work hard. Sometimes models participate in filming, screenings and various events for 10 hours a day.There should be a lot of a good body, and a beauty with luxurious forms eventually realized this. Hunter McGrady almost gave up her career at first, but then she got fat and became a very successful model.
