He is the guy who introduced new street styles, and urban Fashion in the XL genre, and man, everyone loves it. He is a god-sent person who understands the pain of walking into a store to find out that they don’t have your favorite shirt in your size. Dude, that hurts. Right?
Well, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade, and so did he. He started working on this issue, getting support from his Instagram page, and he has done it; now, every clothing line has a wide range of variety in sizes.

Robert Kuhn
Robert is one of the Kult models, and everyone loves him because of his deep Blue Ocean eyes.
Of course, being a body-positive model comes with its own sets of indifferences, like in almost every case, they had to face these mean comments about being fat, and it brings us back to what Dan Pearce said.
“People who love themselves, don’t hurt other people. The more we hate ourselves, the more we want others to suffer”.
These lines will make your day and prove the jokes on the people who hate body-positive roles.

He is the person who weighed 200KGs on his wedding day, and in his defense, he said that “some people smoke, others drink, I… ate”

One of his biggest dreams is to be the modern version of Mario Lanza of the 1950s. To check out his latest perks, follow him on Instagram.
Claus Fleissner
Claus is a plus-sized model with dope-posing skills, but that’s not the only best thing about him.
He is a German with a love for his country and culture. He runs a fashion blog that is entirely in his native language. But what we do get from his blog is that he is insanely photogenic with the best posing skills that’ll make you go Wow.
He fell into this god-forsaken heaven by mistake when he was helping in organizing the runways. That’s where how and he walked on the ramp with the models as a joke.
But it wasn’t interpreted as a joke but as a need for time. Yes, women are advertised as plus-sized models. Why don’t we introduce men to this genre? And that’s when it happened, and every beauty line started to appreciate body-positive models.
