Plus-size female models with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan 140+ are the most sought after.

"Weight 140 kg or more, height 1.65 m or more, under the age of 25, with regular facial features, well-proportioned waist and neck, no large tattoo, and photogenic face." If these are basically the same, you may become a plus-size model, regardless of gender, even if you are fat.

In China, plus-size models are a new professional group. This is not only the fashionable introduction of western fashion, but also the rise of online shopping in China and the demand for foreign trade clothing.

Because of the prosperous women's e-commerce and foreign trade clothing industry in the Pearl River Delta, it is known as the most professional plus-size model group in China. Among them, the "best" plus-size model with height 1.70m and weight 1.70kg has an hourly salary of 2,000 yuan and a monthly salary of 70,000 to 65,438+10,000 yuan. Even the average model earns over 10,000 yuan a month. Many of these plus-size girls from all over the country and even around the world are college students. They are good-looking and have academic backgrounds in English, architecture, foreign trade, music, art and even diplomacy. They are defining the story of youth, beauty and fashion in a brand-new way.

"We don't have fat models, only large ones." Huang Fei, who claimed to be the first professional plus-size model agent in China, told new customers on WeChat.

I have practiced gymnastics and traveled all over the country.

In the eyes of 33-year-old Huang Fei, there is no problem with being fat, and people can't discriminate and satirize fat people. So she doesn't accept any malicious video advertisements comparing diet pills with fat people.

Huang Fei herself is a plus-size girl. She is of wheat complexion and yellow hair, unmarried, with a height of 1.60m and a weight of 150kg or above. She lives in a house on Changjiang West Road with a monthly rent of 1 0,000 yuan, with her sister and seven or eight cats. It's hard not to notice her confidence and quick expression when I first met her.

Without make-up, only wearing a little lipstick, and speaking Mandarin with a northern accent, I will say "slap" (northern dialect, tidy up) to the model from Shanxi, which will surprise the other party. The same language talent was also used by her in English.

But Huang Fei is from Guangzhou. According to her, my ancestors came to Guangzhou from Meizhou for more than ten generations. I am not only a native of Guangzhou, but also an authentic "Miss Xiguan". I grew up behind the Guangzhou restaurant on Wenchang Road. My mother is the headmaster of a nearby primary school, and my father is an ordinary worker. There is a twin sister at home, but a few years younger. Both sisters were strong since childhood and were called "big" or "little fat" by the students around them. But it didn't affect her cheerful personality at all.

Because of her naughty nature, Huang Fei was sent by her mother to practice gymnastics since she was a child. Although she has never participated in a competition, she has also joined the provincial gymnastics team. Huang Fei graduated from the Sculpture Department of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. Going to school requires artistic style. She traveled almost all over the country with a letter of introduction and ate all the delicious food.

Guangzhou plus-size models earn more than 10 thousand a day

She does a lot of exercise, but what remains unchanged is her "freshman". Even if she goes swimming after graduation, Huang Fei still has fleshy shoulders, strong calves and a skin color that she jokingly calls "tanning".

Becoming the first professional agent of plus-size models, Huang Fei said that it was actually very accidental, because she entered the business early and had a small circle of plus-size models.

At that time, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Dongguan gathered a large number of e-commerce companies for Taobao plus-size women's wear. "Plus-size women's wear first started in Humen area, but now it is mainly in Guangzhou and Shenzhen." Huang Fei said that he was from Guangzhou and naturally wanted to become a plus-size model agent.

Before becoming a plus-size model agent, Huang Fei opened clothing stores, restaurants and foreign trade businesses. On 20 10, her brother just helped the plus-size women's clothing store shoot on the set, and the plane model was temporarily absent, and Huang Fei was temporarily rescued, which was recognized by the customers.

"A few hundred dollars a day, it's beautiful after makeup, just put on a few actions." Huang Fei said that one of the reasons why she became a plus-size model at that time was her face. Although she is fat, her chin is sharp and she feels good on the whole. Now the hottest plus-size model in Guangzhou can earn 1 to 20 thousand a day.

Like the fashion world, plus-size models also eat youth meals, and many of them are college students with part-time jobs and great mobility. Having been a model for several years, Huang Fei, who loves tossing, began to consider being a model agent, starting a company, and choosing models to sign contracts based on his own aesthetics.

This industry needs more than just being fat.

What is a plus-size girl? Huang Fei said that there are many standards at home and abroad. Some clothes are over 14 size or weigh more than 0.8 times their height. Even some girls with a height of 1.70 meters and a weight of 120 Jin are called plus-size models by customers, which is completely everyone's opinion.

"Weight 140 kg or more, height 1.65 m or more, under the age of 25, with regular facial features, well-proportioned waist and neck, no large tattoo, and photogenic face." This is the basic criterion for Huang Fei to choose a candidate. Most of her female models are over 1.70 meters.

"This is not to say that it is fair and unfair to fat people. This is a professional demand. " Huang Fei explained that plus-size modeling is also a winning or losing profession. Models themselves have requirements for height, weight, body shape and face shape. You don't have to be fat to be a plus-size model.

"I can see the picture taken by Meitu camera at a glance." Huang Fei said that because he studied art sculpture, he looked at people differently from others.

Now, she has more than 40 male and female models from Zhejiang, Shanxi, Henan, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, Russia and other countries. Among them, female models account for the vast majority. Some people open Taobao, some are freelancers, and many are college students and international students who want to earn some tuition. Models also have various university majors, including international trade, English, architecture, computer, music and art.

A female model recently signed by Huang Fei is 20 years old, with a height of 1.70m and a weight of 150kg, and a measurement of 100-80- 106. Huang Fei signed her because she is fat, but she has a small face, a thin neck and a thin waist.

As for how fat a plus-size model can be, it varies from person to person. Huang Fei signed a contract with a foreign girl, with a height of 1.80m and a weight of more than 230 kg, who is still welcomed by customers because of her particularly thin waist and beautiful face.

Huang Fei once met a plus-size girl, one size bigger than Fan Meisheng, with a very well-proportioned figure. Her height1.70m and weight150kg. There was a bright future, just because her boyfriend told her that unless she lost weight, she would not take her out for dinner or marry her. Girls who haven't graduated from this university, dieting to lose weight to 120 Jin, are bent on getting married and can't sign up for plus-size models.

"It's a pity that I didn't sign this girl. I am afraid that she will be delayed by unreliable people. " Huang Fei thinks that getting married depends on her figure. She didn't even graduate from college, and she is really worried about her.

Model agent: "I don't recommend you to come. You may not be welcome if you come."

Wang Lanxi, a girl from Shanxi, is very famous in the modeling field. She is over1.70m tall and weighs1.70kg.. Now she is a regular model of a plus-size women's clothing company with a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan.

Becoming a professional plus-size model is her dream, and now this dream has been half realized.

Wang Lanxi sat at the dining table, her face full of soft classical beauty. Two years ago, when I was a junior, Wang Lanxi was lying on the bed in the dormitory brushing Weibo. Seeing the introduction of the plus-size model, she took the front lens of her mobile phone, took photos and sent a private message to Huang Fei.

"Don't come." Huang Fei replied: "It looks ok, but it can't meet the requirements. The characters need to be shaped and the pixels are a bit low. " Huang Fei said that she was not optimistic about this girl at first, nor did she believe that this girl would insist.

But Wang Lanxi didn't give up. She started to exercise and lose weight, and added Huang Fei's WeChat. She had never been to Guangzhou until last February. She bought a plane ticket through her college internship and ran from Shanxi to Yangcheng despite her parents' opposition. While relying on my erhu major, I found a tutor job with a monthly salary of 4000 yuan; While exercising your body shape and posture, you are waiting to enter the modeling industry.

At that time, she rented a bed in a job-seeking apartment near flower city square. Bed is 65,438+0,000 yuan a month. Besides eating and drinking, girls' biggest hobbies are walking and doing sports in flower city square and reading books in a nearby bookstore. Besides, she has to teach herself how to make up, wear high heels and practice her movements and manners.

Wang Lanxi is impulsive, but she is actually a cautious girl. Before coming, she paid attention to Huang Fei's WeChat dynamics in the past six months. After seeing her work status and videos, she felt that she should not be a liar or a pyramid scheme company. "Generally, liars ask for money." She said.

Until last July, her persistence and hard work made her a full-time plus-size model under Huang Fei.

"Models don't want to do it, and the sense of lens can't be practiced in one day." Wang Lanxi said that the modeling work is not as simple as imagined. Her face is covered with a thick layer of makeup, which makes people breathless from morning till night.

Plus-size models are most afraid of summer, because they have to shoot winter clothes outdoors in midsummer. It was so hot that a false eyelash fell off before I finished painting, and my makeup was almost gone. And the weather is so hot, they will keep trying on winter shoes, their feet will sweat and smell, so they can only stick to it. Sprinkle some rhyme powder of Tang poetry into their socks and continue to work.

Fat people can also be healthy and beautiful.

Now Wang Lanxi has moved to the vicinity of Ergong, which is close to the subway station and the Pearl River, and the prices in the old city are relatively cheap. She rented a separate room in 600 yuan and lived there for a month. On weekdays, she walks by the river, rides a bike in the Pentagon, reads books and cleans.

She also signed up for a yoga class at a price of 100 yuan nearby, with 8 classes, and continued to practice her figure. To her delight, she came to Guangzhou alone. Because she is a plus-size model, she met friends of the same size and even hobbies. She also played the erhu and played a song with the girl who played the piano.

"At first I said I was a big model with a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan. My parents don't believe it. I thought I had done something bad. " Wang Lanxi said that until last year, a documentary program on satellite TV filmed the daily life of plus-size models. She specifically told her parents that the old couple saw their daughter passing by on TV, but they believed it.

Huang Fei's mother doesn't believe that her daughter is a plus-size model agent. Huang Fei said that up to now, her mother has often sent her the news that "the police destroyed the dens of black-hearted brokers". In the eyes of her parents, fat is not beautiful, and it is impossible to become a career.

In Huang Fei's private letter in Weibo, I can receive a letter from Rainbow Lanxi, a girl who dreams of coming to Guangzhou as a plus-size model every day. Her reply is the same-I don't recommend you to come, and you can't guarantee that you will be popular. If you insist on coming, you have to rent a house to support yourself before you have a job. Please choose for yourself whether this life is worth living.

Huang Fei said that plus-size models have given "fat girls" a new world, but she also learned that some girls have been cheated by fake model agents for more than 10 thousand yuan. But for a regular model agent, the audition is free.

Huang Fei said that her ultimate dream in life is to go to Kenya to be a wildlife photographer and then have her own family.

"I want to tell you that fat people can live a healthy, happy and beautiful life." Huang Fei said.
