Aussie Robyn Lawley is one of the successful plus size models in the current fashion world. In this article, Lawley mentioned that she actually struggled with confidence issue due to her body size. She experienced pressure in losing weight.
Signing to a model agency, Lawley hopes to be a source of inspiration for others. She hopes to inspire women in her size that they are able to look amazing even in lingerie and it gives them hope.
She is excited to have her body representing the “real woman,” too.
She also mentioned that she hopes that the companies will start to realize that who really is their customer and she hopes she is able to break down those barriers. In other words, the customers are not just the small size but it should also include the plus size people.

Personal opinion:
Plus size model is getting more and more happening in the current fashion industry. This has showed that sizes are no longer a hindrance for plus size people in becoming a model. In the article, it also triggered me to question how should we actually define the real women? Is fashion world clinging back to promote the natural beauty? In a sense that, fashion world is no longer about skinny model? It is about looking amazing in your natural body size?
