Karolin Wolter recently announced that she is taking her modeling career in a different direction by becoming a plus-size model.

In the past few years, the German model has taken her strut down the catwalks and been the advertising face for designer names like Marc Jacobs, Givenchy and many more in between, though she had taken a few modeling seasons off.

At only 20 years old, Wolter is choosing to model with Ford+, the plus-size portion of the agency, to see where her career will take her next.

Crystal Renn, a well known plus-size model with Ford+, has conquered an incredible amount of modeling feats since her career started though she originally suffered from body issues and even battled anorexia after recommendations to become skinnier by a modeling scout. 

Overcoming the recommendations that she lose more weight, Renn has appeared in numerous publications and campaigns, been the first plus-size model on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar, and written her own book on struggles in the modeling industry called Hungry: A Young Model's Story of Appetite, Ambition and the Ultimate Embrace of Curves.

Robyn Lawley is another plus-size model with Ford+. Many models who make the transition to plus-size modeling are very successful in their business endeavors.

According to many sources, Wolter’s agent, Gary Dakin with Ford+, said that she is “absolutely thrilled” to begin her career as a plus-size model.

The distinction between plus-size and straight modeling has changed over the years, but regardless, we can’t wait to see what this young beauty has in store once her plus-size career takes off!
