bikini babe Jennie Runk on body confidence and THAT H&M advert
Jennie has been modelling full time since 2011, when she gained 20lbs on the advice of a scout
She told the BBC: 'I was given the option to lose weight and try to maintain a size four (a UK six or eight), or to gain a little - maintain a size 10 (a UK 12 or 14) - and start a career as a plus-size model. I knew my body was never meant to be a size four, so I went with plus.
- Size 16 model Jennie Runk appeared in the latest H&M swimwear pictures
- Now has a huge fan base and receives thank you letters from young women
- 24-year-old has been modelling since 14 when she was spotted in a pet store
- Wants young girls to know it's ok to be confident, whatever you look like
Size 16 model Jennie Runk made waves last month posing for H&M's summer swimwear campaign.
The
5.10" brunette was hired by the high street brand to show off the range
of larger sizes that their beachwear collections come in (U.S. sizes
14-24) and the shots caused a stir because there was no obvious
reference to the fabulous looking model's size anywhere on the ads.
The collection was
simply presented to customers as 'this season's new swimwear'. The only
clue alluding to the line's larger sizing was a small '+' sign sitting to the right of H&M's logo.
