Meet the Plus-Size Women Revolutionizing the Modeling Industry.

TESS HOLLIDAY

At size 22, PEOPLE's Body Issue cover star is the largest woman to ever sign with a modeling industry.

CANDICE HUFFINE

Huffine is a familiar face for Italian fashionistas – the 30-year-old model regularly graces the pages of Italian Vogue, appears on this year's famed Pirelli calendar and was photographed for Lane Bryant's #ImNoAngel campaign this year.

ASHLEY GRAHAM

Graham is more than just a model: the 27-year-old has a lingerie line with Canadian retailer Addition Elle, and is outspoken about her positive body image. "I'm confident in my skin," she says. 

ROBYN LAWLEY

This 25-year-old made modeling history when she became the first (ever!) plus-size model to get her own page in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She welcomed a daughter earlier this year, too.

DENISE BIDOTWhen Bidot hit the Chromat runway at New York Fashion Week last fall, it was a major moment – she was the first plus-size model to walk in a straight-size brand's show.
