The era of size zero and heroin chic is a thing of the past. The 21st century, with its gravitation towards naturalness and immediacy, has brought its own rules, the main one of which is the acceptance of one's body. Already now, non-standard models go to the shows of the most famous designers, and Anna Wintour herself stands for diversity in all its manifestations. Plus-size models will surprise no one for a long time. The most popular ones are in our selection.

Ashley Graham
Perhaps one of the most famous representatives of the family of lush models, whose name everyone has heard at least once. The girl's career began with a sudden meeting in one of the stores in her native state of Nebraska, where a scout of a modeling agency drew attention to the future star. Her full-fledged photo shoot "These bodies are beautiful in any size" was published in Glamor magazine and then, already distant 2009, made a splash in the fashion world. Now the girl's account includes covers for Elle, Grazia, Cover Magazine, Maxim, as well as shooting for Vogue, Glamor, Harper's Bazaar, Love Magazine, Sports Illustrated and many other publications.
Markita Pring
Markita is a perfect example of how parents play an important role in our lives. It was the mother of the future model who took the girl to a beauty contest when she was only 15. Then everything is like a fairy tale: moving to New York, frightening with its grandeur, debut on the catwalk, a long-awaited contract with one of the best modeling agencies and cooperation with Jean-Paul Gaultier and Christian Siriano. Today, the girl can boast not only friendship with eminent designers, but also filming for V Magazine and Vogue, as well as advertising campaigns for Evans and Levi's and collaboration with one of the world's best agencies - IMG.
Philomena Kwao
Philomena Kwao, Master of Economics, owes her success to her friend, who invited her to take part in a modeling competition. The girl admits that once, due to stereotypes, she tried in vain to whiten her skin and lose weight, but it was then that she realized that she needed to accept herself as you are, with all the flaws and shortcomings. Philomena's career breakthrough came in 2012, when she took part in photo shoots for major publications, including Essence Magazine, Cosmopolitan and Pride.
Candice Huffin
Veteran of the modeling industry. For a long time, the girl was filmed only for clothing catalogs and only then she actively switched to cooperation with glossy publications. In 2011, she appeared on the cover of Italian Vogue for the first time in 10 years. Candice's track record includes spreads of the authoritative gloss, which includes CR Fashion Book, Vogue USA and Harper's Bazaar, friendly relations with Christian Siriano and Prabal Gurung, as well as shooting for the famous Pirelli calendar. Leaving an active modeling career, Candice founded her own sportswear brand DAY / WON, and is also the mastermind behind the Project Start project.
Clementine Dessot
Clementine failed to become popular in her native France with her craving for conservatism, so the girl decided to go overseas to freedom-loving America. After collaborating with American Apparel and Nike, her name did not leave the lips of fashion editors, and becoming the face of Christian Louboutin lipsticks, the whole world started talking about her. Clementine herself is modest about her success, actively opposing photo retouching and any diets.
