Name brands commend themselves for including plus size women in their shows and campaigns. Yet the requirements for curve modelling still fail to represent a majority of plus-size women. Within the walls of the world of fashion, a size 10-12 is considered to be plus size. Meaning models such as Stefan... Read More

Types of Male Modelling

Getting work as a male model can be considerably more difficult than it is for a female model. The demand for female models is exponentially higher resulting in less modelling divisions for men.
