In the last several years, the fashion industry has made major changes with regard to size inclusivity. Granted, designers still don’t make enough clothing for plus-size people, and being plus-size in the fashion industry is still a challenge, but there is undeniably more size representation in fashion than ever before. This evolution has made space for more plus-size models to not only shoulder their way into the industry but also to actually build a career in it. In fact, we're rounding up our favorite plus-size models on the rise. Check them out below — you're going to have a whole new list of people to follow when you're done.
