Not Another Naked Plus-Size Model Posing For A Fashion Magazine

Not that we don’t love a good naked plus-size model – seeing a diverse array of body types in fashion is obviously something Talent Management advocates – but when we see a yet another set of killer naked curves on a fashion magazine cover, we can’t help but wonder why. Forgive us for thinking this, but aren’t fashion models paid to showcase clothes?!

Not that we don’t love a good naked plus-size model – seeing a diverse array of body types in fashion is obviously something Talent Management advocates – but when we see a yet another set of killer naked curves on a fashion magazine cover, we can’t help but wonder why. Forgive us for thinking this, but aren’t fashion models paid to showcase clothes?!

Candice Huffine is the latest in a long line of plus-size models to flaunt her naked curves for a glossy, in this case, for Spain’s S Moda magazine.

Accompanied by the rather largely printed and ironically belittling tagline ‘Reales Y Rotundas’ – ‘Real and Round’ to you and me – Huffine is posing half way to the foetal position in nothing more than heels and a diamanté choker.

Meanwhile, inside, the 50s-themed editorial spread, shot by Damon Baker, features an array of equally revealing pinup-type shots in which Huffine predominantly wears lingerie and accessories.

The decidedly sex-injected shoot is then accompanied by an article which explores why the classic curvy feminine body type has been exchanged with a skinny so-called ideal.

While the article sounds intriguing, the editorial is plain cliché. Never mind the fact that this is somewhat of a cop-out from the shoot’s stylist – sorry Francesca Rinciari – but isn’t the fact that plus-size models are being directly associated with sexual availability just a little bit wrong, not to mention overdone?

The team and models here at Talent Management, and especially the curvaceous ones amongst us, would like to see the 27-year-old do what a fashion model does best, model the latest clothing trends.

Now, unless the birthday suit is this season’s hottest look, we’re left baffled.
