If your into fashion as I am you will recognize the name Myla Delbasio. Myla is a Calvin Klein underwear model at a size 10. In this crazy fashion world, we deem her as a 'plus-size model'. This is said to be groundbreaking but what madness.
After her interview last week on Elle magazine’s website were she was mentioned as a ground breaking plus-size model in such an industry. This article mentions that Dalbesio is what the fashion industry would—still, surprisingly—call ‘plus size.

To me personally, this is not plus size. Why would their be an outrage over a model that looks no different from other models we've seen before. Don't get me wrong, We have come farther in the last few years in fashion then we have in years but I wouldn't consider Myla Dalbesio 'plus-size' in no way, shape, or form. Whe i think of plus size I think og GabiFresh. Not only in Gabi beautiful, she is definetly my definition of plus-size.

Dalbesio and others like Robin Lawley are for sure paving the way for more exceptence when it comes to the way we see beauty. It starts with a few changes. As Lawley, Australia's First 'plus-size' model, told the London Times, “I wish we could all be known as models, rather than ‘plus-size.’ It’s skinny models who should be called ‘minus-size'."
Removing distinctions like “plus-size” would get her and millions of other women closer to that level of acceptance. Instead of constantly comparing ourselves to each other, we should be able to see different body types simply with veneration. “Isn’t this fucked? I’m a model, and I feel this way. I need this validation,” Dalbesio exclaims. And she’s right. It’s totally fucked.
