Glamour Loves Real Women

Filed Under: Models Spread 'Em

We told you last month that Glamour planned to do a follow up shoot after receiving so much praise from showing what a normal-sized woman looks like.

And here it is!

In the November issue, Lizzi Miller once again bares all for the camera with fellow plus-size models Crystal Renn, Amy Lemons, Ashley Graham, Kate Dillon, Anansa Sims and Jennie Runk.

So beautiful and it looks like the picture is already having an impact!

In the article, the VP of Client Services at Ford Models says: “The public wants to see all types of models represented. This portrait [of the models on the first page] is an amazing step toward that.”

Yes! Yes! Yes! Let's hope all the modeling agencies are listening!

Glamour also plans to listen to their readers and break away from the standard fashion magazines. The mag says going forward their readers can expect:

A continued commitment to showing a wide range of body types—and, of course, racial diversity—in our pages, including fashion and beauty stories.

A promise to give the best plus models not just work, but the same great work straight-size models get, partnering with top photographers, stylists and makeup artists. Because a generous helping of fantasy, in our view, is fabulous—as long as it’s extended to women of all sizes.

An ongoing celebration of the so-called imperfections, from nose bumps to gap teeth smiles, that make us all unique.

Enthusiastic support for any designer who manufactures chic clothes we can photograph on full-bodied models. Isn’t it time for changes like these?

We do think it's time for change!

Hopefully this is just the beginning!
