PLUS-SIZE MODEL CLAIMS FASHION INDUSTRY PUTS ‘SLIM MODELS IN FAT SUITS’ IN VIRAL TIKTOK

-

 A plus-size model has sparked outrage after she shared a fashion industry “secret” on TikTok.

Norwegian model Karoline Bjornelykke, whose TikTok username is @coolquinn, posted a video explaining that she is sometimes expected to wear “padding” in order to appear in ads wearing clothes larger than her size.

Bjornelykke, 25, is considered a plus-size model despite wearing size 10/12 (EU38/40), between two to three sizes smaller than the average British woman, whose dress size is 16.

But she is sometimes booked by brands that carry clothing sizes 16 and up, she says in the video.

“If you have eyes, you can see that I’m not that size,” the red-headed model says. “So, how do we fix this?”

     She then shows viewers a bag filled with “padding work”, which she describes as a “fat suit in pieces”, and explains that she is expected to bring the pieces in for photoshoots with larger clothing sizes.

Bjornelykke demonstrates how she stuffs the padding into a skin-coloured mesh suit that is worn under the clothes she models, which makes her “look a lot bigger”.

But if that isn’t enough, she continues, stylists will pin the clothing in the back to make it appear more fitted.

Explore problems faced by farmers, including loss of land and decreased varieties of animals and plants produced. Understand how these problems impact the production of food and other farm products. Problems in Agriculture Think about how much food you eat each day. Now, think about how big the human population is and how much food is needed to feed all of those people.
