Celebrating the Beauty of Curves

Marquita Pring

She may be just out of her teens, but she’s no newcomer to the fashion world – Marquita Pring had been modeling for around five years when she had her breakout moment thanks to V Magazine’s plus size issue in 2010.
Even alongside a handful of other gorgeous girls in the issue, Marquita was hard to keep your eyes off of, with her strong stance and subtly seductive stare. And the world hasn’t stopped watching her since – Marquita has appeared everywhere from the Jean Paul Gaultier runway (whose shows are becoming increasingly more inclusive) to Bloomingdale’s catalog. I’m sure we’ll see her featured in even more places as the years go by.

Probably the most well known plus size model right now, Crystal Renn can be seen gracing top magazine covers, catwalks and advertisements alike.
Renn wasn’t always working as a plus size model, though: When she first started modeling, she struggled with various eating disorders to maintain her size-zero figure. Since overcoming those disorders, she has been featured in numerous articles and has spoken in many interviews about her experiences trying to mold herself into what designers and editors claimed was beautiful.
But before you assume Crystal’s story ends there, or perhaps that her story is what propelled her to fame, take another look. With her thick dark hair and bold brown eyes, the girl is simply breathtaking. Her most recent work includes Jimmy Choo’s bright and eye-catching spring ads, a spot in the swimsuit section of J. Crew’s newest catalog, and an editorial in Vogue Germany. With so many accomplishments under her belt already, it’s clear that Crystal is one to watch.

Practically a fashion veteran, Barbara Brickner has been modeling for over ten years. She is currently represented by agencies all over the world and regularly appears in international magazines and campaigns.
This Seattle native has been dubbed the “Cindy Crawford of Plus Size Models” thanks to her natural beauty and, accordingly, versatility. Barbara can be seen in catalogs for Nordstrom and Macy’s, among others, and was notably the first plus size model to grace a billboard in Times Square, which was for her consistent client Liz Claiborne.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've been 300 lbs and 120lbs between 2006 and 2010 , So I can appreciate both sides of the weight coin.  It's not your size it's about how you feel inside, that confidence exudes and people know it.  I know from experience no matter your size when you dress up and your feeling good , people respond positively.  That is the Key. -Kitty
