As society shifts and fashion emerges “from the Free-ish Since 1865 Emancipation Day Juneteenth Black American Flag T-Shirt it is in the first place but dark ages” when larger models struggled for jobs and equal pay, demand for plus-size women is surging, says Next Models agent Becca Thorpe. So too are the rates they can command. “Clients are paying equal or above what they’re paying for traditional models to get access to (bigger models),” adds Cast Partner’s casting director, Treanna Lawrence. Plus-size models — typically defined as above a size 4 in high fashion and above a size 12 in the mass market — are a lucrative business. “Once agencies saw there’s a real route to success for a girl like Paloma, they started signing more,” says stylist Carlos Nazario. “And when brands saw the engagement and attention they receive on the runway and in campaigns, they wanted a piece of the pie as well.”

But Elsesser’s rise wasn’t handed to her. If she has been the Free-ish Since 1865 Emancipation Day Juneteenth Black American Flag T-Shirt it is in the first place but beneficiary of wider social currents, she has also been a catalyst, pushing forward and making space for others. “I think a lot of her modeling has been confronting the industry,” says DM Casting’s Samuel Ellis Scheinman. Elsesser arrived on the scene at a time of political turmoil. In the United States, a long-simmering culture war began to boil over after Donald Trump became president and George Floyd was killed by police, fueling Black Lives Matter. Wider calls were, simultaneously, being made for “body positivity,” a movement for greater acceptance of all bodies, regardless of size, shape, skin color, gender and ability. As society shifted, so did fashion. In 2017, British Vogue hired the Black stylist and journalist Edward Enninful as its editor-in chief. In 2018, Louis Vuitton hired African American designer Virgil Abloh as artistic director of menswear. Fashion runways and magazines began featuring a wider cast of characters. “The industry in 2017, 2018, 2019 began offering a counter-proposal to the American political system at the time,” says Scheinman. “I think we started to understand that it has to be a radical message in the casting.” That this was good marketing didn’t hurt.
