just checked her out, she's KILLER yikes

I'm guessing it's another case of a straightsize model switching to plus? (judging  by her 2 vogue covers)

I think Shon D. should just apply his work to some major plus agencies and work with some awesomesauce plus models and make some kickass work.

well we're not promoting ourselves here, this is for great working plus size models (and that are not us, usually). but some non-agency "plus" models have been here: london andrews, kerosene, io,... and photographers sometimes contribute with pictures they shot of a fuller model. so if you have anything to add here, feel free to do so! just not self-promotion

Didn't get into MSA sad


But as soon as they said "no" I walked my ass down to Click and dropped my photos off with them. Hopefully they'll call me back since I live locally.

Regardless I intend to drop my photos off with every +model agency in town as many times as I need to until SOMEONE says "yes!

Good luck!!  It's so hard.  We have Click here in Boston, but that's it for plus-agencies.  Can you send me a PM of plus-agencies in NYC?  I know Wilhelmina, Click, Ford...but any others I should know about??

Thank you!smile

ugh, too bad... for them! wink
keep applying, and in the unlikely case that they all say no; do some testshoots and reaply after 6 months. There's no doubt in my mind you'll get signed!

Tara Lynn and Ashley Graham for Lane Bryant Valentine's Day lingerie... sorry for the advertisements, I got it from their website big_smile.

not a fan of the lingerie, but these are 2 of the most gorgeous plus size models ever and they look really pretty! And I think the editing was done really well: it shows their body without looking overdone.

Hope this isn't too off topic, but does anyone have any advice on what UK agencies are best to apply to for plus size models? (I know this thread isn't for self promotion, so aren't posting up pics of myself, but I am plus size at 5ft10, 36E chest, 31" waist, and 42" hips)

Some truly beautiful women on this thread by the way!!!

hi there!

for plus size agencies in the UK, I recommend checking out:

12+ UK model management
http://www.12plusuk.com/

Hughes models
http://www.hughesmodels.co.uk/

milk management
http://www.milkmanagement.co.uk/home/plus/

models1 (their plus board is called "excel")
http://www.models1.co.uk/

those are the main agencies, that I know that are legit and have working plus size models on their board (I know models that are signed with them). I'm sure there are other smaller ones, and a lot of agencies who are more casting agencies then modelling agencies, but definitely also a couple scammers out there, so do your research .

the 4 agencies I mentionned are london-based.

best of luck!

seriously?

first of all, you're slimmer than any of the girls mentionned in this thread, and secondly there are plenty of "bigger" plus size models as well. And kate dillon is not that slim, just average sized...

No worries, you shouldn't have any problems getting signed with some leg work. You have all the right looks for a successful model : )

BTW: Abi Hill would be a great model to network with.
