Marquita Pring for eloquii by The Limited
Ford model Marquita Pring is a quite striking and shapely plus size model who can also deliver the all important beauty shot. This is the main reason she has been working for some of the best designers and vendors in the industry.
She was stunning in the June 2011 Vogue Italia Belle Vere editorial. Her “furniture top” shot is one not easily accomplished but under the direction of photographer Steven Meisel, it was pulled off with spectacular results. It’s one of those shots that if you ever see anything like it, you will always be reminded of Marquita and Vogue Italia.
eloquii by The Limited is their new online store that launched November 1, 2011. The store features plus size women’s fashions, clothes and accessories with free shipping on all purchases and return. Currently, they ship only to the USA.

Ashley Graham has established herself as one of the most recognizable plus size models today. Her stunning beauty is clearly evident and she has the curves to round out the package. Ashley is seen here for Bare Necessities in a swimsuit that fits her to a T. Throw in it’s reptilian-like dark red and black pattern, and this size 16 beauty will definitely impress when she hits the scene.
We also love her hair and make-up combo here. It pulls everything together in a glowing yet subtle style.

Simplicity can bring its own reward as Laura Well illustrates in this stylish yet simple look. Neither Laura or the outfit overshadows the other but merge instead to form a classically styled look.
Laura is one of the very top plus size models today. Judging by how she is winning over support from many quarters, both male and female, she definitely has “game-breaker” potential in many media markets.
