One of the most famous plus-size models in the world is, without a doubt, Tess Holliday (formerly known as Tess Munster), who is a size 22 and 5'5'' tall. She was born in 1985 in Mississippi and she was the first model of that size who managed to get an important modeling contract once she moved to Los Angeles in 2010. She has modeled for important brands such as Evil Pawn Jewelry, Batcakes Couture and SWAK and has been photographed by people such as David LaChapelle. She has also appeared in very important magazines such as Nylon and Vogue Italia, to name a few.
