Recently, fat models are back in fashion. Photos of these donuts are increasingly appearing on the pages of glossy magazines. Looking at them, thin girls cautiously begin to look around, waiting for the new fashion boom to overwhelm everything around. But is everything really as it seems at first glance, or is the popularity of overweight women just a fleeting phenomenon?

The realm of exquisite style

The world of fashion is fickle, and everyone living in it is well aware of this. But even in such conditions, the approach of change is always accompanied by noise and a certain amount of indignation. Especially when it comes to changes that can completely break the usual stereotypes.

It's no secret that in recent decades, designers have attracted exclusively thin girls to their shows. And any attempts to change this, at best, led to the fact that the innovator was considered an eccentric. Simply put, there was no such thing as a “fat model” in the fashion world.

No,Naturally, some designers still released clothing lines designed for curvy women. However, no one represented them at shows in Milan, and even more so fat models did not pose for the covers of leading glossy magazines.

How did skinny girls make it to the big catwalk?

So, why did it happen that fat models were out of work? Why is there a monopoly of slender bodies in the world? And what did it lead to?

It should be noted that until the 70s of the last century, girls in the body were in high demand. Take, for example, Marilyn Monroe, who has long been the standard of female beauty and charm. Yes, she was not fat, but you can’t call her skinny either. But with the advent of the 80s, everything changed dramatically - thin models completely "crushed" the big podium for themselves.

This was partly due to the fact that designers, in their desire to save fabric, began to sew dresses for small and slender girls. For the rest, propaganda from the same glossy publications and television is to blame. As a result, fat models were left out of work, bitterly recalling the old days.

New high fashion boom

And now, 30 years after the victorious triumph of thin people, the situation is changing again. And now fat female models are starting to push competitors out of the catwalks and photo shoots. Perhaps, it may seem to someone that this is only a fleeting phenomenon, unable to affect the overall picture as a whole. However, the public's rave reviews of curvaceous beauties tell us otherwise.

WhenAnd every year the number of fans of such stars is only growing. Given this, it is not surprising that many designers, sensing a new opportunity to get fame, began to sew more and more dresses for plump models. Which, in turn, only increased the excitement around this topic.

Tara Lynn is the most famous plus-size model

Today, the most famous model with extremely curvaceous forms is Tara Lynn. The future star was born in Canada on February 25, 1982. She graduated from drama school. This allowed her to become an actress and play in several films.

But she made a splash in the fashion world thanks to the Spanish magazine Elle. After all, it was this edition in 2010 that published the original photos. At the same time, the trendsetters liked the girl's appearance so much that she was soon invited to take pictures for another fashion gloss - Vogue Italia.

After that, Tara's career skyrocketed. And the fact that she is the fattest model in the world did not bother the public at all. True, the lady soon lost this title, because other fat models also presented themselves to the world.

The new generation of glossy magazine plumpers

Following the example of Tara Lynn, many girls in the body also began to make their way to the fashion catwalk. Perhaps the biggest sensation was made by Tess Holliday, whose photo on the cover of her magazine was published by the world famous edition of People in June 2015.

Tess Holliday is the fattest model in the world. Her weight is 126 kilograms, and this is with a height of 1 m 65 cm. However, even despite such dimensions, many consider her very attractive and … sexy. Furthermore! Millions of people around the world have made her their idol, as she makes them understand that a large body is not a subject for complexes.

Naturally, such glory does not await all the donuts. However, the results of such a revolution are already making themselves felt. So, since 2006, many modeling agencies refuse to work with girls whose weight is very small. And this is just the beginning. Therefore, who knows, perhaps soon fat models will completely replace the former anorexic beauties, thereby taking revenge on them for past grievances.
