Plus-Sized Next Top Models Faring Worse North of the Border

[LQSeaton]

When casting America’s Next Top Model, creator Tyra Banks and her fellow judges have made some efforts at inclusion of women whose silhouettes don’t necessarily reflect the extremely svelte look currently favored by fashion designers and magazine editors. Former America’s Next Top Model judge and current Canada’s Next Top Model fashion director Nole Marin takes some credit for this, telling the Canadian paper the Edmonton Journal that he “pushed…Tyra Banks to include a plus-sized model as a finalist.”



However, plus-sized American beauties should not make a run for the border, thinking that Marin’s involvement in the Canadian show means that there is also ample opportunity on that show. For the second season of the Canadian version of America’s Next Top Model, there are no plus-sized models included, and there were none in the first season either.

Whereas Marin takes some credit for the presence of plus-sized models on ANTM, he pins the blame for their absence on CNTM on someone else: a Prada-wearing “devil.”
