The fashion industry has a long way to go before all women are represented and the models represented by Natural Models that range from a size 6-16 are no longer categorized as "plus size models" but instead are referred to as just "models." Until then, Natural Models will continue to create an environment unlike any other in the industry, focusing on model development as well as providing models with the tools needed to be successful business women.
