PLUS Model Magazine News: The Black Issue Is Here!
We’re kicked off 2014 with a new look AND an important question that has been asked repeatedly to the plus size fashion industry by readers, consumers and fans…What is plus size?
With our February 2014 issue, we are continuing to talk to diversity within the modeling industry and in honor of Black History Month…The Black Issue has arrived.
This new issue has four beautiful African-American models on the cover and we didn’t stop there. We also have four alternate covers, featuring each model individually. You can check out those covers below (click on the image to see full size):
This month’s cover models are Wyinnetka Aaron (DorothyCombsModels.com), Chearice Vaughn (MSAModels.com), Ariel Brownridge (DorothyCombsModels.com) and Monique Robinson (IpmModels.com).
