Fashion Models or Lingerie Models?

Author: Richard

One of the highlights of the year as a lingerie buyer is to see the cat walk shows at the lingerie trade fairs. It's all well and good scouring the trade press and seeing editorials about developing and current trends within the industry or wandering around the stands of the different manufacturers to see not only whats on offer at each, but what do they have in common and where do they stand apart. This is where a well produced cat walk show comes into its own, particularly where it is broken down into sections that put some of the trends together, showing ranges from different manufacturers that identify the common threads within the industry for the coming season.


It has to said however, that great as this might be, it also needs models who show off the product to its full effect. Some of the manufacturers, Curvy Kate being a prime example, have taken the approach of having 'real women' as models. Most of the manufacturers when it comes to photo shoots for their trade catalogues and adverts, choose models who have curves and will do justice to the lingerie they are looking to promote. This also applies to the models who work on the stands at trade shows, with DD plus models, modelling DD+ bras and so on.


However when it comes to the Cat Walk shows, it has to be said that there is a tendency to use 'Fashion Models', who sadly in the main are lacking the necessary curves, that lingerie models really need. Now I'm not saying that they all need to be DD plus, as many of the smaller cup samples come in a B Cup, but sadly it is an all to common sight, to see obvious use of chicken fillets, gaping bra cups and briefs that look baggy, as the bum to fill them is sometimes missing.


Fashion models unfortunately still have that certain look, which clothes manufacturers may feel show off their products to best effect, but they do not represent the ordinary woman in the street and the reality is that when it comes to lingerie and swimwear, models need to a completely different profile. So to all you model agents up and down the country, when it comes to lingerie and swimwear shows, can you make sure that the models who are put forward have the necessary figures to carry lingerie to its best effect and lets move away from the size zero or is size zero and a half that we now appear to have.

Big is Beautiful With Plus Size Lingerie!


Let’s get one thing straight – large women are sexy. Contrary to what the mainstream corporate media has been trying to sell to the western world for the past few decades, the fact is that most of the world’s cultures find voluptuous, curvy and even plump women to be far more desirable than pencil-thin females for whom anorexia is an alternative lifestyle. Consider the immortal pin-up girls of the 1940s – these were not thin women! For centuries, the great artists of Europe such as Gustave Courbet and Pieter Rubens have given us wonderfully erotic images of full-figured women. Even the earliest statues from the Stone Age are of women with generous thighs, hips and breasts. So...if you’ve got it, flaunt it with plus size lingerie!


It’s an Attitude

You may have heard that men are more visually aroused than women. There is some truth to this, but more often, men are drawn to women who are firmly convinced of their own sexual attractiveness and behave accordingly. It’s why popular celebrities such as Queen Latifah and Roseanne Barr in the U.S. and Dawn French in the U.K. have such appeal.

Sexy plus size lingerie is a good way to show a man that you consider yourself a sex goddess – and when you do, chances are good that he will as well. Fortunately, you’ll have little problem finding just the right sexy plus size lingerie for every occasion – you can even build a collection!


Sheer Lingerie and More

Show off your figure to best advantage with form-fitting sheer lingerie that hugs every luscious curve and profile. Or, if you find tight-fitting garments uncomfortable, consider exotic lingerie that is loose and flowing – revealing just enough to tease, but not quite enough to please. Exotic plus size lingerie may also mean costumes designed to fulfill a man’s equally exotic fantasies.

In fact, some men who appreciate large women want to be dominated. Why not oblige him with real studded leather topped with a lady cop’s hat for an “arresting” experience.

Other men may simply want to “play doctor.” If this is the case, exotic lingerie such as the “naughty nurse” may be in order as he enjoys giving you a “hands-on” exam.


Exotic plus size lingerie for Every Occasion

As you’ve probably realized by now, sexy is as sexy does – 90% of it is in the mind. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take advantage of the wide variety of exotic lingerie that is available out there.

Generally, plus size lingerie is thought of as something for men to enjoy looking at on a woman’s figure. This is partially true, but exotic plus size lingerie is just as much for the woman who wears it. When she things of herself as sexy and acts in a sexy way, men notice. Plus size lingerie isn’t magical, but it will definitely do a few things for the wearer as well as the object of her desire.
