Incredibly beautiful Russian plus-size models (17 photos). The emergence of the term plus size

The demand for models with plus size body parameters is growing with each new season. The exit of curvaceous women to the podium is always supported by ordinary customers of branded clothing. The popularity of fashion models with non-standard forms is increasing not only in the modeling business, but also in commercials.

The emergence of the term plus size

Democratic and freedom-loving Americans contributed to the emergence of the term "plus size". Residents are so accustomed to going to court for any reason that any fashion designer could not advertise looking for a fat woman for work. Girls would easily consider such a name humiliating. To avoid misunderstandings, a special term plus size was introduced, which means “one size larger”, or literally - “plus size”.

Subsequently, this form of address was officially fixed after the approval of the American grid of clothing sizes. The National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed a dimensional grid, which takes into account both standard and more unusual figure parameters. Following consumer demand, fashion designers in the late 70s of the XX century released fashion models with forms unusual for the fashion world on the catwalks.

Category "plus": options

To become a model, it is not necessary to have ideal forms. The plus size is highly valued by many brands, but certain requirements are put forward for girls.

In society, the truth, said by Kate Moss, that there is nothing more delicious than being thin, has long been outdated. Healthy bodies are replacing unhealthy thinness, but for professional work it is important to have a well-groomed appearance and elastic skin.

The classic parameters of the plus size model start from 96-76-106 cm. At the same time, height is also important, it is desirable to be above 175 cm. The standard size range of clothes for such women is 48 and 50 (Russian).

Luxurious Russian Models

The most famous and successful Russian plus size model is Ekaterina Zharova. Even though she wears a size 52 and has a hip circumference of 112 cm, by American standards, she is a little short of the plus norm.

Catherine from childhood was not thin, but she always dreamed of a podium. Her mantra was the words from the film of the same name "the most charming and attractive", which she often reviewed with her mother.

E. Zharova is not only successful as a fashion model, but also has a wonderful family. To keep the skin in good shape, she regularly goes in for sports and is fond of yoga. Her motto says that the happiness of a person does not depend on weight, and it is necessary to live now, regardless of what parameters are available at the moment.

St. Petersburg model Yulia Lavrova is in great demand at fashion shows. She has always been in plus size, and all attempts to lose weight have been without much success. Now the girl weighs 86 kg, which is considered ideal for working in the fashion world in this sector, but previously her weight exceeded 100 kg.

To maintain the shape and flexibility of the body, the model goes to the gym twice a week and attends swimming classes, but she no longer sets the goal of losing weight. She is quite satisfied with her current appearance, and success in her career and fame make her feel happy.

Many connoisseurs of real Russian beauty compare Julia with Kim Kardashian, but Lavrova herself does not recognize any standards and does not strive to be like anyone. Lavrova got into the crazy world of fashion shows not without the help of her friends. After several home shootings, her photos were seen by agency employees who were looking for new images.

Now the girl has contracts with well-known brands that specialize in clothes for obese girls: Natura, Infinity. In his personal life, everything is also going smoothly, there is a loving husband and son. Julia proves with her life that plus-size girls are in demand not only among men, but also in the fashion business.

Plus Size Worldwide

Tara Lynn is one of the brightest curvy models. With a height of 170 cm, she has majestic parameters of 110-86-120 cm. At first, the girl tried herself as an actress, but since 2010 such famous modeling agencies as ELLE and Vogue have been working with her.

At first, the girl, like many, was very worried about her body. But then she realized that she did not need to chase ghostly standards, and her forms excite many. Tara came to the world of fashion quite late by the standards of the world catwalks, she was already 28 years old when she decided to show her plus size without photoshop. The success so stunned even the model herself that now she is completely relaxed and proud that she does not have to torment her body with exhausting diets and back-breaking workouts.

The largest model in the world

One of the most controversial plus size models is Tess Holliday. To date, she is considered the largest girl in the field of fashion. Moreover, even the growth of a young lady of 165 cm does not stop photographers and designers. Holliday's parameters are 124-124-132 cm, and the well-known fashion company Vogue signed a contract with her.

The path to a dazzling career has not been easy enough. Like many puffy young ladies, Tess constantly endured ridicule from her peers. And when she said that she was dreaming about catwalks and filming, she was simply ridiculed. However, the girl herself was never embarrassed by her own appearance, she was completely liberated in this regard. Therefore, while some were trying to lose weight and gain confidence, Holliday, without any hesitation, began to act in half-naked form.

Natalia Pampukha and Veronica D. for Militta Magazine

Despite the fact that around the world you won’t surprise anyone with shows with the participation of magnificent models, in Russia, unfortunately, there is still a slightly dismissive attitude towards the needs of girls “in the body”. From the pages of glossy magazines and from TV screens, long-legged owners of size 42 look at us, although most Russian women wear size 46-48 and more.

But not everything is so bad: in recent years, the market of Russian models has gradually begun to expand due to girls with appetizing forms. In 2011, a plus-size modeling agency, Plus-Size Model Agency (PSMA), even began its work. It employs girls with clothing sizes from 48 to 60.
