Meet 23 Yr-Old Taylor Rhoden, Who Was Told She's ‘Too Tall & Too Curvy’ To Become Model (Photos)

I’ve been turned away from many agencies due to my height. I’ve always been told that I’m “too tall”. Although I thought my height and look was beautiful and unique, I felt like the agencies never saw that,’ Taylor said.

‘It’s because of this that I entered Star in a Bra, in the wider modelling industry I am yet to see women that look like me, not only am I tall, I’m also plus size and I’m black, African-American, so I would really like to see someone that resembles me for once in the spotlight.’

‘It felt so surreal because I’ve been working so hard at turning my modelling dreams into my reality for so long and finally everything was coming to fruition,’ she said.

‘Through winning I’m hoping to bring a new look to Curvy Kate. I am not the traditional curve model, and I think that’s always a plus. I’m hoping that by adding me to the family, a different target population of women will also feel included: women of color and taller women
‘This is an opportunity for me to inspire women all over the world to love the skin they’re in.’
