Most Iconic Plus Size Models Paving The Way For Others
Round-up of women like Allegra Doherty, Amy Lemons, Emme, and more.
Emme
Many consider Emme, born Melissa Owens Miller, to be the first mainstream plus-size model to achieve mainstream commercial success. She was the first plus spokesperson contracted by Revlon in 1998.
Amy Lemons
Though Lemons started out as a straight-sized model, she transitioned to a curve model after college and began to speak out about the industry's zero-size standard.
Angellika Morton
Morton transitioned into a plus-sized in 1997, and was the first model to be inducted into the International Model Hall of Fame in 1999.
Mia Tyler
Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler's daughter (and actress-model Liv's younger half-sister) decided to try her hand at modeling when she was 19 after being scouted by a talent agent for Lane Bryant. She went on to walk in the company's New York Fashion Week show in 1998.
Ashley Graham
We've said it before: Graham has made the plus-size industry incredibly visible, appearing in Vogue and Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue.
Tess Munster
Munster has built a body-positive community on Instagram, using #effyourbeautystandards to start a movement. In 2015, the 5'5, size 22 model signed with Milk Model Management.
