Known for?

Barbie is the freakin’ beautiful plus sized model who became known for fronting an aerie campaign, American Eagle’s loungewear brand. The ‘aerie real’ ads that went viral for being unretouched and using models of all sizes, like Barbie, saw her become an internet sensation overnight.

Fun fact: Barbie also refuses to post any retouched photos to her own Instagram. This gal is au naturel!

Best quote?

“Curvy models aren’t usually thought of as models. But everyone being called a “curvy model” or a “plus-size” model is breaking the boundary. We’re trying to get rid of this labels and boxes and just be models of all shapes and sizes. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the word curvy or plus-size because there are women who identify as that, and I’m not offended by it whatsoever because I don’t feel like being bigger is anything wrong. Curvy and plus-size models will just be models once it becomes more normalized and we get more representation and people are used it and not shocked by it.”
– Barbie Ferreira, interview for Time.
