Imagine this: you’re transported from the freezing cold December weather (no more puffer jacket, no gloves) to a warm, sunny beach in the Bahamas. All your best friends—the biggest supermodels in the world—are there, too. The group of you spend the week in the sand, on jet skis, documenting the whole thing for your combined […]

Chances are, if you’re a fan of high fashion, you’re a fan of Soo Joo Park.

Now that fashion weeks for spring 2016 have wrapped, I’ve decided I can’t keep quiet anymore. Models need to slow the hell down. Most march down the runway on such a tear it’s impossible to grab images for social media. The thrilling exception this season? Dolce & Gabbana where many of the girls carried iPhones […]

Over the past year, a select few plus-size models—think: Robyn Lawley, Candice Huffine, and Ashley Graham—have been making breaks for the spotlight in mainstream fashion. From Vogue Italy to Ralph Lauren, these women have nabbed some of the biggest typically straight size (definition: 0-4) jobs in the biz. Though their work is a step forward for all women, plus-size models haven’t been accepted into high fashion as a whole.

The limited exposure of plus-size women in the market often makes it seem like there are only a handful of plus-size models working in the industry. On the contrary, there are a number of plus-size agencies with an even bigger number of curvy models working in New York’s modeling mecca.

To shed some light on these women, we’re setting out to profile the top up-and-coming plus-size models to watch within profiles of agencies that recognize their beauty. Today, we take a look at New York agency JAG Models’ top five girls on the rise.

Big model news: Maybelline New York announced today that Jourdan Dunn will be the new global face of the brand. After being discovered by a model scout in the sunglasses section of a British store in 2007 (the dream, right?) Dunn’s impressive career has included walking the runway for top designers like Oscar de la Renta, Alexander McQueen and Balenciaga, as well as appearing in print campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Burberry and Rag & Bone. The London native (and BFF to Cara Delevingne) will be gracing Maybelline New York’s print and television campaigns beginning this month.
 

In an industry where models come and go as quickly as trends, Daria Werbowy has managed to keep busy and relevant. Gracing FASHION’s cover for the ninth time, the Polish-born, Toronto-bred beauty brings her signature sizzle to the camera, sporting a Christopher Kane dress with the kind of freshness and energy that you typically see in a new name. At 29, she says she may feel as young as when she was first discovered but her whole outlook on life has changed considerably. Below, features editor Elio Iannacci offers a sneak peek at her cover story.

On her relationship with fashion and decor:
“Ever since I was in high school, I was interested in design. I kept changing my room around all the time. I think design has an important role in our surroundings, our personalities and our way of life.”

Brunettes overshadowed the Fall 2012 runways. Celia Ellenberg reports on the power colour.

For two full seasons, Guido Palau made an indelible mark on the backstage beauty game by dyeing models’ hair a frothy colour often described as “Balenciaga blonde” because of its prevalence on Nicolas Ghesquière’s runway. But last September in Paris, the Redken creative consultant shocked the show-going set with some black magic—make that brown magic—by taking a previously platinum Kasia Struss to a warm shade of chocolate. “She just looks tougher with brown hair,” he said at the time.
