Being a Plus Size Model Through the Rise and Fall of Inclusivity: Kortney Russell with Viva Voce

In an interview with Viva Voce, plus size model Kortney Russell (@kortney_russell) talks about her evolving relationship with fashion and what it’s been like building a modeling career during a shifting moment in the industry. Kortney reflects on being discovered in 2020, when inclusivity and body positivity was gaining visibility, and how early opportunities with major brands slowly gave way to fewer bookings as the industry retreated. She shares the reality of trying to find clothes that fit, the judgment placed on plus size bodies, and how preconceived ideas shape the way people are treated. Kortney also speaks about being Native Hawaiian and how seeing plus size women loved and supported within her culture helped shape her self love journey. This conversation is about fashion, culture, and reclaiming power.
