When the team at Models Direct found this shot of plus size model Tanya Gervasi on Caryn Franklin’s ‘How To Look Good’ blog, we had to share it!

Walking in the Rome couture shows for Gattinoni in a stunning peach gown, we think this ultra feminine and curvaceous model makes an unforgettable impression on the catwalk.

It’s great to see this trend continue as the fashion industry embraces figures like Gervasi’s, who is not only a curvy model, but also a gastronomic expert.

“Of course as designers fit each garment in a bespoke way to the individual model it is the perfect way to showcase more diverse bodies,” Caryn Franklin,  co-founder of All Walks Beyond the Catwalk, said of the image on her blog. “I’m hoping images like these will become less of a rarity.”
