The largest plus size model to be signed to a major agency, Tess Holliday, graces the June 1, 2015, cover of People Magazine. At a size 22, the 5’5” model was signed with a major agency back in January. With campaigns for brands like Benefit Cosmetics and Torrid, Tess tells the magazine that she has been busy working ever since.
“I just got back from London three weeks ago,” she says. “I’m going to New York this week, then next week I’m going to Montreal and New York again. Then I go to Seattle, New Orleans and Vegas after that, all for work!”
I’m not really sure how she’s any different than the super emaciated models that walk the runway every season. This is just another dangerous extreme.
