Beauty Crush: Mylo Delbesio
24-year-old plus sized model (size 12), Mylo Delbesio was recently hailed as the ‘new Crystal Renn‘. I love what she says about the term ‘plus-size’ as its meaning has changed so much over the last few years. ‘Normal’ models are now skinnier than ever, and plus-sized models are moving far away from being size 18 or larger.
“I think that this division between straight and plus is really harmful.The term ‘plus size’ is outdated. To get rid of the term ‘plus’ would be a step in the right direction. Ideally there would be no division–it would just be models are models and we’d be on the same board as girls who are size two. We want to be looked as just as talented and worthwhile as these other women. These terms just make my skin crawl. Also, the clothes made specifically for a plus size women, I feel like designers don’t give them any thought.”
