"  &amp;quot;Plus-size&amp;quot; supermodel Robyn Lawley\u00A0covers the March issue of Australian Cosmopolitan, and she says she&amp;#039;d rather not be called &amp;quot;plus-size&amp;quot; anymore, thanks very much. (She&amp;#039;s on her way to &amp;quot;ending the thigh-gap obsession&amp;quot; as the cover line touts.) In her interview with the magazine, Lawley says: &amp;quot;Personally, I hate the term plus-size. It&amp;#039;s ridiculous and derogatory \u2014 it puts women down and it puts a label on them.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Women love seeing women they can relate to,&amp;quot; she continues. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not about the tiny 19 year-old model with no personality. People want to see curvier girls. &amp;#039;Plus-size&amp;#039; modeling is in itself [a] very small [industry] \u2014 they just need more girls to do it, and more amazing straight-sized models going into it.&amp;quot; And then on her swimwear line\u00A0in particular, she says a plus-size label is irrelevant, as she just wants it &amp;quot;to be the swimwear label that fits the best in the world.&amp;quot; Which, yeah, it seems to be well on the way to achieving, as shown in a previous Aussie Cosmo editorial:  Lawley&amp;#039;s agent Chelsea Bonner also spoke with Cosmopolitan for the feature, and gave an awesome quote describing the scene when Lawley first learned about the &amp;quot;plus-size&amp;quot; mantra: &amp;quot;I remember clearly the relief on her face when I said I didn&amp;#039;t want her to change a thing about herself. I just wanted her to be a normal, healthy, active person and see where her natural shape was.&amp;quot; See, fashion industry \u2014 and sure, the world at large too: IT&amp;#039;S NOT THAT DIFFICULT REALLY.\u00A0 Follow Alex on Twitter.
