PLUS MODEL MAGAZINE September 2015 Latin Issue | Page 166

Who are your favorite plus designers, models, bloggers and
celebrities?

There are many but I would have to say my favorites are Bonny Bridal and
Dreamgirl Lingerie. Bonny has been around for over 32 years and has been
designing wedding gowns with 3 essential elements in mind: style, romance,
and tradition. Their dresses are beautiful and they believe that all brides
should feel special on their wedding day. Dreamgirl is an amazing lingerie
company based in California. They are my favorite and, to me, have the
BEST lingerie I have ever seen. Other Designers I absolutely love would be
Monif C. IGIGI, Purple Diva Designs and Kiyonna. When it comes to models
I would say I’m inspired by Robyn Lawley and Ashley Graham. Those two are
fierce plus models and have changed the industry tremendously. I’m also
honored to know Lesley Pedraza, who is now a plus size photographer but
was a former plus size model. Her advice has also helped me in this industry.
Bloggers would include Gabi Fresh and Nicolette Mason.

Where do you see yourself in the next year?

I would absolutely love to keep shooting with various plus designers, plus
clothing companies, and attend casting calls in Los Angeles, New York,
Arizona. This year I would like to do some charity work with a non-profit
organization, helping to spread positive body image and confidence. I have a
huge passion for photography because of some amazing photographers I have
worked with in this industry. I plan on staying in Los Angeles but will travel
wherever this industry takes me.
