BBW Johanna Dray’s Big Fashion

When the time comes, the full-figured female public in the European region will be thanking this curvaceous celebrity: Rubenesque Johanna Dray, the first plus size model in Europe to launch a clothing line specially catering to women with fuller body proportions, and thus promote fashion for this specialized population.

But while realizing that the industry isn’t totally ready for this yet, with the existence of only a handful of designers using BBWs to grace their shows, the zaftig celebrity doesn’t let it bring her down. "I think the fact that I work as a model, that I appear in magazines, really reassures many women," Johanna Dray said. "It sends them the signal they have the right to be themselves."
