Calvin Klein, a brand famous for its models, has taken beauty standards to a whole other level. Let’s meet their first ever plus-sized model Myla Dalbesio.
Meet Calvin Klein's First Plus-Size Model
The model Myla Dalbesio from Pennsylvania, posed for Calvin Klein as the first plus-size model of the brand in 2014.
Even though she was a size 10 at that time, she was labeled as plus-sized!!???
'And size-10 girls, there's not a lot of spots for us to fit in in the fashion industry.'
"I'm not the biggest girl on the market, but I'm definitely bigger than all the girls Calvin Klein has ever worked with, so that is really intimidating."
"In the fashion industry, there was no space for anyone in between a size 0 and four and the 12 plus, so the only boards that would accept girls of my size is plus-size boards and that’s how women my size ended up becoming part of that category."
She stated that she never thought anything negative about her chin until a photographer noted “de-emphasize chin” during a photo shoot.
'I call myself plus-size, but I know I'm not'
"She's the fattest one. Zero muscle tone. Last place."
This is what people comment underneath her photos on social media.
