plus-size model
Larger fashion representative
A plus-size model is a fashion model who wears larger clothing sizes than the industry standard, typically size 12 and above in women's clothing.
Plus-size models appear in advertising, catalogs, and runway shows for brands that cater to larger bodies: She became a plus-size model after years of being told she was too big for the industry.
The term reflects the fashion industry's historically narrow sizing standards rather than any objective measure of body type.
