Breaking boundaries in the modeling industry is what Stefania Ferrario, a MODEL, does. She has a pixie cut, which is not very common for models, and she is not in the range of US size 4 and below.
She has risen to the top in spite of everyone calling her a plus size model. And now, the message that she wants to send across is for people to stop using the words, “PLUS SIZE.”
I AM A MODEL
At 21, Stefania is working on a campaign against the use of the words PLUS SIZE. In her interviews, she reiterates that she is a model. That’s what her job is, her profession and she also says she’s doing great at it.
She is currently the face of Dita Von Teese’s lingerie line and is featured in several campaign videos such as this:
LOVE YOUR CURVES
Her message is not just to drop the “PLUS SIZE” but to make it known across the globe that models who don’t fit the US size 4 standard shouldn’t have to be discriminated.
In fact, at US size 8, Stefania is smaller than the average American woman. And imagine, only 8 out of 3 million people in the world can fit the category of a supermodel. Clothes are being made and shown off the runway by people who represent only 8 out of 3 million people.
She’s also human
The Australian model, though very serious in her campaign, can also goof off and relax. After all, she’s young and she looks like she’s having fun at what she does.
