A Calgary model says plus-sized models should be pushed to the forefront of the fashion world.

Sunday Omony, who is originally from Uganda, will be featured on Vogue Italia’s website next month.

The curvy model will be featured in a video interview focusing on her humanitarian work, her advocacy against bullying, and her promotion of healthy body image.

The editors of Vogue agreed in May not to include models that are underweight or younger than 16 in any of their issues.

Omony tells The Calgary Sun designers are starting to understand there is a market for models that actually look like regular women.
