In the 2010s, one of the new trends in the fashion world was the open presentation of puffy women, in the manner of “we are, we are noticed, we exist”. This is because, for decades, the models on the pages of glossy magazines in the new fashion collections of lingerie were all selected to be slimmer than the others. Plus-size models came to correct this injustice. They know about the advantages of their magnificent bodies, are proud of them, are not shy about them, and are ready to show them from the juiciest angle to the whole world.
Fashion designers are finding more and more income potential by turning to the services of big ladies. They are invited to their advertising campaigns, and these luxurious girls are seen on the most famous catwalks of the fashion world. In addition, producers of adult content add them to their BBW VR projects.
