Plus size models at AFW

What does it mean?
For the first time plus size models have written history: they've walked shows of the Amsterdam Fashion week for the first time. Miranda Koelemeijer, manageress of Maxi Me Models, is very proud of their models Paula Schaareman and Bo van Otterdijk. They walked the show of designer Ratna Ho.

Why is it cool?
For two years ago, Miranda tried to get plus size models to the Amsterdam Fashion Week. She got an letter back with two words on it: "Keep dreaming." But a few months ago, Ratna Ho contacted Maxi Me Models for models to show her collection. She said: "My fashion fits better on girls with curves." There is no need to organize a show especially for plus size models, Ratna Ho has changed something in the history of fashion in the Netherlands. 2013 was the first time plus models walked a show of the New York fashion week.

Why does it have future growth potential?
The image of having only skinny models on such important fashion things is coming to an end. That plus size models can walk shows from now on is important for the fashion industry. I think this has future growth potential because there is no need to organize a special show for plus size models, I think they can walk in every show from now on.
Fashionweek.
Wonderful.
