The concept of plus-size modeling emerged as a response to the lack of size diversity in the fashion industry. The term "plus-size" itself can be subjective and varies across different regions and societies. Some fashion experts argue that the term itself should be abolished as it can perpetuate stigmas towards larger body types. However, for the purpose of this essay, we will be referring to "plus-size models" as individuals who work in the fashion industry with a larger body size than traditional fashion models.
