The first thought that would come to your mind when you hear the word “model” will be a lady whose figure is size zero and her bones cheek and collar bones are very well-defined. However, it seems like the trends are changing because there are also some curvy models who are not skinny but even then they look gorgeous!
1. Iskra Lawrence
One of those models is Iskra Lawrence, who is very different from all other models. This fantastic model has a very different definition of beauty! She believes that you are beautiful just as you are, and so there is no need to hide those stretch marks because they are a part of your body.
2. Denise Bidot
Usually, you wouldn’t see curvy women walking on the ramps because people believe that skinny women look better and so the chances for plus size models to walk on the ramps decrease. However, Denise Bidot was the very first woman who walked on the ramp at one of the very famous events, i.e. The Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week! She proved that if you carry your body with style and confidence then rather than considering you as a misfit, people will start admiring your body.
3. Katya Zharkova
The general impression among the people regarding the field of modeling is that unless you are all bones, you won’t have any fans or followers. Not only that but also you won’t get to work with famous brands which doesn’t seem to be true because Katya Zharkova is one of those who is breaking all the stereotypes and she is very successfully working with forever 21 and Cosmopolitan. And guess what? She has over 35k followers on Instagram!

. Ashley Graham
According to the traditional mindset, on the cover page of the swimsuit edition of the sports illustrated magazine the lady who should be featured must be skin and bones because after all swimsuit won’t suit a chubby girl but it seems like not everyone thinks that way!

6. Erica Jean Schenk
