[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many professional modeling agencies that deal with big fashion brands only have two divisions--traditional models and plus-sized.  So anything not in those two is basically ignored.

Anytime you see a woman who doesn't fit into those buckets in high fashion print or runway it is almost ALWAYS an exception and some special celebrity appearance by a woman who has done something amazing, like win multiple Oscars, like Kate Winslet.

I'd love to more professional models that looked like her in high fashion--neither traditional model build nor plus size. Her body looks amazing in the clothing.[/quote]

This. I’m a healthy BMI, I’m also tall and a size 10-12. The new inclusive models are great for people who aren’t a size 0 to see what clothes will look like on them. However seeing clothes on a size 18-20 model doesn’t help me. I wish most models were a size medium or 6-8. I feel like I can extrapolate from a size 8 model what I will look like in a 12. I feel like a size 2-4 person could also use their imagination to mentally size down. Even a size 14 woman, which I thought was the most common size - could judge more from a size 8 model than a size 22 one. [/quote]
