What’s wrong with plus-sized bodies anyway?

The average Australian woman is a size 16, but most models are less than half that size.

PLUS Model Magazine – which exclusively showcases bigger beauties in its pages – has shot a daring fashion spread for its January 2012 issue to highlight this fact.

The shoot features size 16 model Katya Zharkova (size 12 in US sizing) posing nude alongside a traditional size zero runway model.

“There is nothing wrong with our bodies… not everyone is meant to be skinny,” the magazine’s editor-in-chief Madeline Figueroa-Jones said.
