The Plus Size Influencers Owning the Fashion World

In the past, the word ‘plus size’ wasn’t always synonymous with the fashion industry. 

But gone are those days.

In recent years, prominent social media figures and adorned celebrities have turned up the pressure for high-street retailers and ecommerce brands to revise their strategies when it comes to plus size fashion. 

Fast forward to the present day and social media influencers are our new spokespeople making waves in industries big and small. More specifically, plus size influencers use their platforms to advocate for change within the fashion industry and highlight the importance of inclusivity. 

Though seeing plus size influencers and models walk famous fashion runways and lead campaigns for world-renowned brands is now becoming the norm, there is still a way to go. Here are the plus size nano, micro and macro influencers getting the job done.
