The majority of plus size women often feel frustrated with the options they have when it comes to clothes because they tend to be not as attractive as those for smaller sizes. But this trend has started to change. Forget the beautiful and skinny Gisele Bundchen, Kate Moss or Adriana Lima. There's a new supermodel on the runway and her name is Tess Holliday. At size 22 and weighing 280 lbs, Holliday is proof that plus size women are also beautiful and she's inspiring all us to wear a bikini this summer. You've got to see her picture!

I think the most interesting part of her success is that she's showing that a woman doesn't have to be extremely skinny to be beautiful. Beauty, as many have so rightly asserted, is a broad concept in which self-esteem and attitude play a huge role.
The latest campaign Holliday is working on is with British brand Simply Be, through which she inspires woman, regardless of their size, to not be embarrassed to wear a bikini. In a video, she show "how to get a bikini body," a phrase we hear over and over again before summer time and which conjures up images of endless hours spend at the gym. But Holliday turns the phrase around and show us that the only thing we need to do to have a bikini body is to wear one. Genius!
Holliday is 5'3, weight 280 lbs and proudly shows off her voluptous size 22. The first model to be signed by a major modeling agency, MiLK Model Management, she's only 29 but is already becoming a huge inspiration to millions of women in the world. She has more than 800,000 followers on Instagram!
Can't wait to see what else she has in store for us!
