The most famous plus-size model with an unusual figure

A few years ago, plus-size models could not even dream of being on the catwalk and participating in photo shoots. The story of an ordinary girl from the US state of Oregon, who became the most famous model with an unusual figure, is proof of this.

1. The duckling was not ugly, but lush

Even at school, Holly Leah was the center of attention of her classmates. True, such popularity was not at all good for her, because the girl was not distinguished by thinness and became an outcast and a real object of ridicule. Any other in her place would have given up and got used to the role of an unnecessary fat woman, but Holly was distinguished by perseverance and determination.

2. Having set herself the task of losing weight by the school graduation, the girl completely excluded the popular fast food from her menu and took up fitness. And the result was not long in coming. The figure of the girl began to change for the better. Gradually, the ugly duckling turned into a beautiful swan, however, with a very unusual figure resembling a guitar.

3. Probably, Holly would have continued her struggle with being overweight if, after graduation from school, she had not accidentally gotten into a fashion show. It was there that Leah saw her ideal - plus-size class girls who confidently defiled along the catwalk and demonstrated the beauty of curvaceous figures, leaving behind their skinnier colleagues.

4. Fashion in the plus

And then Holly knew what she had to do. With the help of fitness, she corrected her figure, achieving an aspen waist and rounded hips. After that, the girl began to attend auditions and beauty contests. At one point, she was noticed and offered to participate in a photo shoot. This was the beginning of Holly Leah's modeling career.

5. Already at the age of 19, she moved to Los Angeles and began to conquer the fashion world. Today she is 28 years old, she is one of the most popular plus-size models. In the four years that her Instagram account has existed, more than half a million people have subscribed to Lia.

6. Of course, not everyone shares the model's views on an unusual figure, many continue to criticize and even insult the girl, wanting her to lose weight and bring her body into a more familiar form. But Leah knows that beauty can be different, so she not only continues her modeling career but also launched the release of Leah's clothing line for curvy women.
