Sometimes it seems like everything in the fashion industry is about skinny women, even though in recent years there has been a growing interest in fuller models. Recently, several fashion houses and magazines have signed plus-size models for their campaigns, with the aim of redefining the strict rules of the modeling world and giving even average-sized girls a chance on the catwalks. The editors of huffingtonpost.com have gathered ten of the hottest plus size models in the business. Check out who made it past size 36!

Jennie Runk

Runk is best known from the successful April H&M swimwear campaign. The Swedish brand's first plus-size model is voicing her opinion, if she can, that fashion designers are making a mistake when they send girls with boyish bodies to the catwalk instead of models with feminine shapes.

“I never went on a diet to get a job. I feel like I have to show girls in similar shoes to accept themselves as they are. Focus on getting the best out of yourself, don't worry about your thighs, there's nothing wrong with that, Runk confidently tells his comrades.

Saffi Karina

Karina, a British plus size model turned "normal" model, became a mentor for the UK's first ever plus size model workshop, Curve Project London, in April, sharing her experiences and ideas with hair, make-up, photoshoots and for those who are interested in marching on the catwalk.

"We would like to strive to support a positive body image and set a kind of example for those young women who previously thought that they could only enter the fashion industry with a thin body," philosophizes Karina.

Candice Huffin is certainly one of the sexiest plus size models, and it was no coincidence that she appeared on the May cover of S moda in 2012 completely naked and wearing a choker necklace

Crystal Renn

One of the symbols of the plus size movement, Crystal Renn, who once struggled with anorexia, has meanwhile become stick thin. She also wrote a book about the difficult period of her life and the challenging rules of the modeling profession: A Young Model's Story of Appetite, Ambition and the Ultimate Embrace of Curves.

“Size 8 gives designers a kind of freedom. Most models should have a size 6 or 8, although the normal one would be a 10, says the 26-year-old model, who had a ready-to-wear size 44 a few years ago.

Justine Legault

Legault was chosen by the French Elle Quebec in May as its cover girl instead of skinny models and celebrities, joining the ranks of fashion magazines and brands that support plus size models.

“The fact that I got nothing but positive feedback about the Elle cover makes me really happy. It seems that people aren't so shocked that the media is already using fuller women, the Canadian model expressed her joy on Facebook.

Robyn Lawley

We would rather call Lawley a supermodel than a plus size, but she was also featured on the covers of Vogue Italia, Marie Claire and the French Elle with this epithet. In fact, she was the first plus size model signed by Ralph Lauren for his fall 2012 campaign.

“Good morning America, I signed a contract with Ralph Lauren. We need plus size models in New York and it's only going to get better! Lawley gushed to his followers.

Tara Lynn

The 27-year-old American girl, trained as a linguist, is one of the models that might make the fashion world willing to democratize the cult of thinness that has prevailed for decades. The 176-centimeter Lynn with a size 48 was featured on the cover of the French Elle in February 2012, and was mentioned in the magazine as an ideal, shapely female body.

Ashley Graham

The model, who has been actively working since 2000, has already appeared in the columns of Vogue, but her most memorable works are still related to underwear brands. His latest campaign for Lane Bryant was banned by Fox and ABC.

“Victoria Secret Angels lounge around in panties all day. But when a plus-sized woman appears on the screen, she is immediately cut out, said the model, born in 1988, indignantly about the incident.

Tess Munster

In addition to being a recognized plus size model, Munster also owns one of the most popular fashion blogs on the internet. The bohemian-looking model uploads a lot of pictures of herself, in which she is mostly seen in swimsuits and pin-up style sets. One of Munster's mottos is that you don't have to be stick-thin to look good in fashionable clothes.

Candice Huffine

Candice Huffin is certainly one of the sexiest plus size models, it's no coincidence that she appeared on the May cover of S moda in 2012 completely naked and with a choker necklace.

“The editors of Vogue Italia recently opened the eyes of the fashion industry and proved what is beautiful, sexy and what good models are. Now people want more of it. It was photoshop that made people understand what they wanted to see on flesh-and-blood girls, says Huffine, who believes that plus size models influence people's perception of the female body.

Velvet d'Amour

D'Amour rose to fame as a plus size model in 2006 when she walked the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring/Summer 2007 show in Paris. Since then, he has been one of the most outspoken advocates for the transformation of the fashion industry.

“The true meaning of fashion is, in all likelihood, when we enjoy change, decadence and risk-taking in it. Fashion can only be innovative if it deviates from accepted norms. I don't look at the advice of fashion magazines. They are too simple, you have to dig a lot deeper than that, said d'Amour to Italian Vogue, speaking a little homely.
