P.S Kaguya
It took six years of struggle in an industry that favors thin and Eurocentric for Kaguya to make it to New York Fashion Week. As a second-generation Korean American, she encountered constant resistance to her weight and stigmas about her identity. She quickly discovered, she says, that the same stereotypes associated with Asian women were reinforced for Asian models: to be petite and obedient.

I am dead fucking serious when I say I wish I saw more fat women in public. I want to see fat models. I want to see fat women in department stores getting absolutely HYPE when they find racks and racks of clothing in their size and sizes up, so they too can get the "oversized, baggy fit" like women who fit into smalls and mediums. I want to see fat women wearing crop tops proudly and rocking mad midriff. I want to see fat women trying on clothing for their friends and family and saying "look! it compliments my body shape! it's like it was made for me!" I want to see fat women with "cankles" wearing pretty jingling anklets skipping and jumping just to show them off. I want to see fat women on TV, in magazines, on billboards, in all manner of ads, and in online shop images because I want to see my fucking self and all the women I know who don't see enough of themselves. I want to see fat women living, loving, and being visibly proud of who they are because they are beautiful, WE are beautiful. I want to see fat women because fat women need to see other fat women.

Kim Gee-Yang, Korea’s first “plus size” model?
In addition to LA, Kim has done runway shows in Miami and the Caribbean. She’s also been a finalist in photo contests for Benetton and American Apparel, but she says no Korean fashion shows or magazines will hire her.
So, she started her own magazine that features plus size models.
It’s called 66100 (66 and 100 are the maximum sizes in centimeters, respectively, for women and men’s clothing sold in Korean retail stores. Kim takes a size 88 (she says she wears an American size 8).
On the cover of the latest issue, Kim is clutching a chunk of fried pig’s feet with her manicured fingertips. The picture goes with the feature article, “Innocent Pleasure” — Kim writes that you shouldn’t feel guilty for eating what you like.
