Plus-size models detail the horrors of working

And Karlie Kloss didn't make any exceptions in the style stakes at the 10th annual L'Oreal Women of Worth event in New York, on Tuesday night.
Arriving at the Pierre Hotel in Manhattan, the 23-year-old model radiated elegance and glamour in her white floor-length gown which featured cutaway detailing.

Two of the fashion industry’s most successful plus-size models have detailed the scrutiny they have faced while working within an industry which continues to value skinny 'straight-size' women above all else.

Sabina Karlsson, 27, of Sweden, and Barbie Ferreira, 18, from New York, are among the women featured in i-D's week-long video series Size Matters, which explores the pressure models face to be thin - or in some cases gain weight, so they can fit into the plus-size category. In one of the videos, Sabina, who worked as a straight-size model before she transitioned into the plus-size market, recalls being ridiculed by a casting director because of her size.

Last night an array of incredible woman attended the 10th annual L'Oreal Women of Worth event in New York, and standing tall above the rest (literally) was Karlie Kloss in a floor-length white gown.
The 23-year-old model opted for a contemporary cut-out dress from New York designer Rosie Assoulin's Resort 2016 collection. Long sleeves gave way to patches of revealed skin on the shoulder and waist, while a large daisy pattern on the front showcased the brunette beauty's thin pins. Worn with silver pointed pumps, a boxy clutch and dangling ear cuff, she finished her look with a slick of striking red lipstick.
