In Australia, Robyn Lawley who has become a pioneer in plus size modelling, the 25 years old, six foot tall and size 16 model also is the first full figured model to appear on the Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit edition.

Recently, Tess Holiday (based in the USA) a rising plus size model star and who got female audience cheering and applauding when she was walking on stage. She‘s proven that modelling is not only for size 0 but also for plus size figures: the size of at least 50% of women in the society.
