The 31-year-old model was one of a handful of plus-size models to star in Lane Bryant's campaign for its Cacique lingerie line, which ran with the tagline #ImNoAngel -- a dig at Victoria's Secret angels (Buuurn!). In a social media post written in conjunction with the Lane Bryant campaign, she asserted, "I redefine sexy by being bold and by refusing to be anyone but me."
Huffine was also the first full-figured woman to land a spot in the famous Pirelli calendar. If you ask us, her moment in the spotlight should last longer than one month out of the year.
Talk about keeping it real; not only does Lawrence proudly show off her physique in an ad campaign for American Eagle Outfitters' Aerie intimates line, but she does so without the aid of Photoshop -- a rarity for a model of any size.
But the bold beauty's promotion of a realistic body type doesn't stop there; Lawrence is an ambassador for the National Eating Disorder Association and the managing editor of Runway Riot, a site that bills itself as a "fashion, style and beauty site for women of all sizes."
There's no doubt that Victoria's Secret models need insane amounts of confidence to strut their stuff in itsy-bitsy underthings on the runway. Bold babe Runk, who stripped down to her birthday suit for a 2009 Glamour magazine photo shoot, would fit right in among the brand's other daring catwalkers.
And since she's logged time modeling for H&M's swimwear line, she knows a thing or two about working her best angles for a major retailer.
This stunning Swede counts walking the runway at Chromat's New York Fashion Week show among her recent gigs. Though she rocks killer confidence while walking the catwalk, the former "straight size" model admits that wasn't always the case. "When I was my thinnest, I never wore shorts because I'd heard that my thighs were too big," Karlsson revealed in a "Vogue" interview. "Once I became a plus-size model, I became more comfortable with myself; I began to love my body much more than I did before."
Having appeared on "Scandinavia's Next Top Model," the former reality show contestant also undoubtedly knows a thing or two about performing well under pressure -- a trait that's sure to come in handy for anyone navigating the notoriously harried backstage at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
It appears we can expect more curves ahead, thanks to Sanders, whom Glamour magazine recently called out as one of these fastest-rising plus-size models. Known for turning unknowns into household names, Victoria's Secret would do well to pounce on this up-and-comer, who counts Lane Bryant and ASOS as clients.
Throw in her all-inclusive attitude on the beauty of women of all shapes and sizes and you've got yourself a recipe for a top-notch brand ambassador. "Celebrate a woman for everything she is, curvy, skinny, athletic, tall, petite and most of all everything she is within," Sanders said in an interview with StarNow.
