Bree Warren is a plus size model who is on the rise in the fashion industry. Maybe it’s because of her hour-glass figure, 38C-30-42. Maybe it’s because her height of 5′11″ adds a certain proportionality to her curvaceous body. Maybe it’s because she rocks a 10-12 dress size. While all those stats are impressive, we think it’s mainly because of her classic beauty. Her face is fresh but also has all the traditional characteristics of a top model. Bree Warren is a total package who we expect to see more of in the future.
Bree is represented by Wilhelmina NYC, Brigitte Models Germany, Hughes Models London, Dallys Models Brisbane, and BGM in Sydney.

Plus Size Icon Barbara Brickner is very relaxed and confident as she continues blazing trails for the next generation of plus size models. Early on, Barbara Brickner and a few others helped answer the question, why should the fashion industry include or exclude women because of their size ? Although that debate continues today, the general public is increasingly more aware of plus size models and more supportive of them.
More opportunities are becoming available in the industry and more importantly, plus size models are making more of their own opportunities. We see this trend continuing far into the future.
