Fashion World: Plussize

Tyra Banks Dept: "I think the term plussize model needs to be upgraded," she says with a laugh, according to Calgary Herald. Ironically, what sets Omony apart is her average dress size 12 , which makes her measurements out of the norm in the fashion world, but commonplace almost everywhere else and sunday Omony isn't your average model. The Uganda-born, Calgary-based beauty is tall at five-foot-nine, but her curvaceous frame is drastically different from that of the waifish figures usually seen floating down the catwalk. Technically, Omony is what the world has come to know as plus size. However, she'll be the first to tell you she doesn't believe that's the right label. "A model is a model. I loved it when Tyra Banks referred to us as 'fiercely real models,' because that's exactly what we represent." As reported in the news.
