Curvy Model Shares Her Trick Of The Trade

Tuesday, July 26, 2011
We love Marquita Pring, one of the four curvy models who starred in Vogue Italia's now-famous plus-size editorial.

Women's Wear Daily caught up with the native New Yorker, who revealed an odd secret of the trade: padding.

That's right -- the supposedly already oversized models sometimes feel the need to be even bigger. Says Pring, "I'm right in the middle at a sort of small [size] 14, high 12. So I pad sometimes since I've got clients who would prefer a solid 14 or 16."
