This Hot "Plus-Sized" Model is Declaring War on The Fashion Industry

Model Iskra Lawrence looks anything but plus-sized. So it's a wonder she's got that kind of label on her. In fact, there's nothing in her pictures to suggest that. So now she's declaring war on the fashion industry.
But the reality is that SOME women who *don’t* consider themselves “curvy” or “plus-sized” or whatever get offended by that type of categorization, just because their body type goes against a modeling norm. It actually *is* kind of insulting when you really think about it. Like back in 2012, Christina Hendricks almost lost her shit when the reporter referred to her as a “full-figured woman” in a television interview.
Anyway, /end rant. I just don’t think there’s anything necessarily “plus-sized” by this British lass Iskra Lawrence. The term “plus-sized” suggests some sort of traditional norm that she’s compared against. She’s just a beautiful chick who isn’t built like a twig and takes sexy ‘grams. Plenty of wonderful babes like that in the proverbial ocean.
She says:
I HATE that term. It’s used by fashion publications and websites to indicate that a woman has curves without saying explicitly that she has curves. It’s kind of a clever synonym editors use in empowering body image posts to tip-toe around pissing models off.But the reality is that SOME women who *don’t* consider themselves “curvy” or “plus-sized” or whatever get offended by that type of categorization, just because their body type goes against a modeling norm.
