I suppose it depends on how industry standards are changing. I also recall a time where larger models were still closer to what we'd call average human body types, but that was at a time when fashion models were these kind of sylvan oddities that didn't look normal. They all looked like they survived on celery and cocaine. It seems that the standards have been changing, but for the most part, the obese models tend to cluster in the lower end brands and department store catalogs. I think Sports Illustrated was one of the first to start making waves when Ashley Graham was included in the swimsuit edition several years back. Truly high end fashion doesn't seem to have budged much, in terms of recognizing + size in the common sense. So I guess what you're going to be exposed to depends on how rich you are. In the most recent years, fat isn't being accepted so much as it is being actively pushed by some outlets. I saw a Cosmo magazine cover recently with a legitimately obese black girl, featuring some caption about being healthy at any weight. I get the real sense in all of this fat-culture of the elitism that we witness with other forms of virtue signaling: X for thee, but Y for me. They're going to give you the fat girls at the low-to-middle end, but I doubt if you will see many obese women on runways in Paris. It's not unlike the way rich progressives lobby for your neighborhood to accept blacks, while there isn't one to be found in theirs. It's the little people that are meant to bear the weight of moral progress (pun absolutely intended).
