It used to be necessary for models to be incredibly thin if they wanted to succeed on the catwalk, but those days are long gone. Today, plus size girls, like Fluvia Lacerda, are taking over the fashion industry. She made her magazine debut in Playboy Brazil as the first plus-size model.
She began working in the US when she was 16 years old, and at the age of 37, she has established herself as a role model for many women throughout the globe. For Fluvia, it’s critical that everyone understand that beauty comes in a variety of forms and dimensions. She showcases her every day attire on her Instagram account, demonstrating that there are no restrictions on fashion.
Despite receiving worldwide attention, the model had trouble finding garments that fit and no one could help her select a dress for the AmfAR parade in Sao Pablo, Brazil. She was inspired by this episode to consider how the fashion industry still lacks diversity.
The top model claimed that she had to create her own clothing because no national brand or stylist would take on the challenge of designing something for her and her curves. Fluvia developed and made the event’s costumes with the assistance of two pals who are skilled in cutting and sewing.
Fluvia claimed in an interview that breaking into the modeling industry was difficult.
In many respects, getting to a size 18 is a struggle, but most of the time I feel like I’ve won and am really appreciative.
Outside of the United States, it is represented through four agencies in South Africa, Germany, and the United Kingdom. She has also taken pictures for publications like Vogue Italia, Glamor, and of course Playboy Brazil.
Unlike many models, her popularity has increased over time. She prides herself on being one of the most famous plus-sizes. In 2011, she won Best Plus Model at New York Fashion Week, an event that made her feel proud.
Fluvia has no problem calling someone overweight. She just released her book, Fat Is Not an Oath, in which she discusses how to be joyful by embracing your physical appearance.
The model is not afraid to mix different colors, for her the most important thing is to show that size doesn’t matter: all women can have the perfect style.
She discusses agoraphobia in her book because it’s her job to help individuals build a new consciousness, which is bad because the condition has become more prevalent recently. Fluvia thinks that everyone is attractive and that true beauty can be found within of anybody, regardless of size, shape, or effort.
The most important fashion magazines have considered her Gisele Bundchen plus a modeling career thanks to her modeling and beauty, and for her it is a real pride to be named as such. .
She isn’t scared to express her opinions about different body types and to stand up for the significance of instilling self-love and confidence in her kid. Fluvia has been an inspiration because of this.
