20 Stunning Models That Are Destroying Traditional Beauty Standards

These talented models are taking the fashion world by storm and they're knocking down some pretty antiquated notions while they're at it. This group of models is famous for being "plus size," a label that often marginalizes average-sized women around the world. While they're curvier than the average high-fashion model, these women actually reflect what many women around the world really do look like. The average American woman is a size 14 and plus size models today range from a size 8 to a 22. Several of these models have started a viral campaign called #droptheplus so that they can just be called models. Doing away with the "plus size" label and just calling them models could do so much for the fashion industry and women around the world
