With all the attention paid these days to the newest, hottest plus-size models, it's easy to forget about the trailblazers who came before them. Over the past few decades, there have been hundreds of models hard at work bridging plus-size, high-fashion, and mainstream culture. What's more, these models are still working, proving their staying power and banking expert knowledge day by day. We spoke to 10 models with decades of experience (each!) to tell you what they think of the current industry—from fetishes and tasteful nudes to social media and self-love—and, perhaps more important, what they've learned along the way. Wendy Brooks, Inga Eiriksdottir, Tonya Pittman, Marte, Maiysha, Katy Hansz, Jessica Collins, Quinn Miles, Camilla Hansen, and Emme. On the current state of the industry. Wendy Brooks, 48, on the "right" model: "I've had the pleasure to watch our industry become more diverse with more shapes, sizes, and colors. However, that complicates the great debate of what size a model should be. On another note, I would like to see advertising dollars come back to the models from celebrities. When I started, Christy, Cindy, Naomi, Kate, and Linda were booking all the campaigns, not actresses and singers." Inga Eiriksdottir, 30,
