Plus-size shapes have been inching further and further into the mainstream, from magazine covers like Vogue Italia and Glamour to high-end designer lines like Burberry. But Robyn Lawley, one of the most successful plus-size models in the biz, is going where no plus-size stunner has gone before: Ralph Lauren.
Lawley announced her new gig as the first plus-size model for Ralph Lauren on "Good Morning America" today. The size 12 model, who stands at a statuesque 6 feet 2 inches tall, spoke to "GMA" about her journey to get here -- how she initially worked as a "straight" model at age 16, felt the pressure to diet and change her body, and eventually hit her stride as a plus-size mode at 19.
Now she's starring in a new Ralph Lauren campaign, not to mention landing magazine covers and lingerie ads. (This after her splashy start on the cover of Vogue Italia's famous plus-size issue.)
The majority of the industry may still select skinnier-than-thou models, but at age 23, Lawley is representative of the potential success a plus-size model can have. "There are so many plus-size models in New York doing so well at the moment," she tells "GMA," "and it's only going to get better."
We hope so -- if Ralph Lauren could come all this way, we bet other brands can too.

Please do not ever say this to anyone because you will come off as an asshole.
No need to be so touchy. Take a deep breath count to ten and let it out. With all this anger, eventually people will think you look older than you are.
