“Full-figure models have to work harder to prove to everyone in the industry that they’re good enough, and I wanted to help deliver the message that plus-size models are just as talented,” said Derek in a statement about the content collaboration. “This mutual dedication emphasizes the strength of collaboration in achieving exceptional results.”
