Meet Robyn Lawley, Ralph Lauren’s first ever plus size model!
While we wait patiently for Burberry to confirm whether or not it’s teaming up with Adele for a plus size collection, Ralph Lauren has revealed that 23-year-old Australian model Robyn Lawley has become the first ever plus sized face of the brand. And if the pic above is anything to go by, we think she’s totally owned it!
You may recognise Robyn and her gorgeous curves from the Boux Avenue lingerie ad campaign, as well as the covers of Vogue Italia and French Elle among others, although we think Ralph Lauren is her biggest and best gig yet!
Good Morning America stated that Robyn is a US size 12 – a UK size 16 – which according to statistics is actually smaller than the average American woman. Still, we think this is a step in the right direction for showcasing all body types in fashion, and we hope more brands take a leaf out of Ralph Lauren’s book.
