PLUS-SIZE MODELS: OFTEN SEXIER, BUT OFTEN SNUBBED BY THE FASHION INDUSTRY. 

HOWEVER, SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE CHANGING...

We were inspired by a very interesting post from an Italian make-up artist ClioMAKEUP. 

"Plus-size models are often sexier, but, also, often snubbed by the fashion industry. However, something seems to be changing." 

That's what ClioMAKEUP says on her extremely successful blog. 

There is, in fact, the idea, shared by many, for which the canon of beauty would only be one and absolute.

So many times and more and more often it has been discussed the topic about curvy girls, plus size models and all the eating disorders caused by the stereotypical idea of beauty.

In fact, there's been an increasing recognition in the fashion industry towards female plus size models, but what about the big boys?

Well, yes, there are also plus sized male models, who look great and very sexy. It's a shame, though, that there are only a few agencies that have a section for sizes over 52 and that male models sometimes are more discriminated than their female colleagues. 

However, says Clio, something seems to be changing. The world is, slowly, opening its eyes towards this eternal lie, also toward men. Slowly but surely, we're getting there.

One of the most important fashion agency in the world, IMG Models, in fact, hired its first plus sized model, Zach Miko, a 40-inch waist actor and writer, known for Those in Glass Houses (2015), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) and A Leg Up (2013). Introducing a new over 52 size section, he is the actual first plus-size male model.

So far, in fact, most of the (few) plus-size agencies with a men's section, concentrated in UK and Germany, were specialised and open to other models or oversized men, remaining a real niche.

This is the first step to fight this stereotypical idea of men's body and fix the lack of plus-size male models in the industry. Everybody needs to be represented.

"I don't care if I have ripped abs" Zach Miko says. Certainly, he looks more like the average men, than all the male models that are foisted on us by the fashion industry as the normality and making anybody else feeling bad for not looking like that.

We want someone real to represent us. Having more plus-size models would help de-stigmatize plus-size men and stop this misleading advertising that generates an ill society.
