No size is bad and no body type is flawed. Elle magazine in its latest photo shoot chose plus-size models posing fearlessly breaking all stereotypes.
Twenty-first century has witnessed drastic changes in terms of women’s rights, choices, redefining beauty and human rights.
These fearless plus-sized women showing their curves and celebrating their bodies in all its ways:
Gia Kashyap, 25, fashion and lifestyle blogger
“I recently posted a picture of a pizza and a girl commented, ‘You should go to the gym’. Now I’m immune to such comments. It doesn’t make me feel ugly, in fact it’s pushed me to a stage where I appreciate myself more,†she says.
Shikha Talsania, 30, actor
“When I started acting, my vanity blossomed and I understood my body better. I am what I am and I’m fine with it,†says the theatre and film actor, who you’ll soon see in the film Kaash.
Srishti Kumar, 26, stylist and fashion consultant
She says, “I don’t dress for shock value, but I enjoy dressing in clothes that aren’t conventionally meant for my body type. I love my body and I won’t change it to fit what’s available in stores.â€
Tinka Bhatia, 32, hospitality consultant
“I don’t restrict myself to trends either. I love wearing short stuff because I like how my legs look or a low-neck to highlight my décolletage,†she says.
Zahra Khan, 34, digital entrepreneur
“Why aren’t we defined by what we do? You won’t define a business magnate like Mukesh Ambani as short and fat. I don’t see curvy men having a movement,†she says.
