Jenni Runk
This curvaceous beauty made news after H&M decided to feature her on their site as the face of their swimsuit line. It was definitely cool to see a plus-size woman model for a section that wasn’t necessarily for plus-sized clothing.
Toccara Jones
Toccara first came into the spotlight after appearing as a contestant on America’s Next Top Model. The plus-sized model competed against skinnier girls on the show and even though she didn’t win, she was later booked under a plus-size modeling agency.
Ashley Graham
The Lane Bryant model has also appeared in fashion magazines like Latina and Vogue. Back in 2010 Ashley appeared on the Late Night With Jay Leno show discussing a plus-size commercial she was in that was banned for supposedly showing too much skin.
Chloe Marshall
The plus-sized British model made it as a finalist for the Miss England beauty pageant competition. She later was signed to a contract with Models Plus agency.
Saffi Karina
Saffi originally worked as a regular model, but decided to pursue plus-size modeling after being dropped by her agency. It’s inspiring to see a woman not compromise her health for her career.
