The popularity of plus size models is hard to overestimate. They became real inspirers of not only men, but also women.
✔I would even say that they inspire women even more than men.
Before models plus size
Plus-size models are part of the body-positive movement, which teaches you to love your body with all its flaws. But it's not only that.
For many years, ordinary girls with a model appearance did not feel second-rate. As if something was wrong with them.
Admired only by thin people from the screens. And no one even thought that 90-60-90 is not a standard of beauty.
Simply girls with such parameters looked best on screens and on the catwalk, therefore, they were looking for such for the modeling business.
Their thinness did not distract attention, and this made it possible to demonstrate clothes, not body.
We were circled around our fingers. How many girls have exhausted themselves to look like beauties from magazines!
The appearance of complete models
And then models plus size appeared. In other words, ordinary girls “from the people”, ordinary bbw became models.
That is, they did not need to lose weight, they did not need to torment themselves in order to become ideal.
They were taken as they were, and given the opportunity to advertise clothes for obese women.
But not just clothes. These models show that stretch marks, wrinkles on the stomach and back, and cellulite are normal. This is faced by most ordinary women in everyday life.
And suddenly the women realized that we were beautiful, with all our flaws. And worthy of love, not just thin ones.
Men also began to open their hearts and say that they really like the feminine fullness.
But since it was not popular and everyone got acquainted with thin people, they hid their true preferences. Now men are not shy to say that the dumplings look very attractive.
Social networks spread the bodypositive movement
Especially now, many spend time in social networks. And there, plus size models showed their photographs with an “imperfect” but beautiful body.
And this body is worthy to be loved first of all by the woman herself, and only then by the rest. If a woman hates herself, this passes this information on to others, and she is also neglected.
In terms of clothing, plus-size models helped lush women realize that you can dress beautifully in size.
In order to wear beautiful jeans, it is not necessary to lose weight. Just buy your clothes in size and enjoy life.
That is why earlier full women looked so ridiculous. They tried on their magnificent forms to pull things for thin women. And it looked very funny and repulsive.
Output
Plus size models are just one branch of bodypositive. But they should say thank you because ordinary dumplings felt “normal” and desired.
They inspired women not to stay full and love their fat, as many people think.
✔ — And they showed the correct model of behavior: you love yourself - you improve yourself - you rejoice and accept yourself even more.
X - Previously, women acted according to this pattern of behavior: hate yourself - despair - sit on diets - short-term result - again despair and self-loathing.
Therefore, both men and women can say thank you to models plus size for their courage to be themselves.
Do you think the body-positive movement has a future? Do we need plus size models?
