Who: International plus-size model Denise Bidot is globally recognized for both her personality and modeling gigs in the fashion industry. The size-14 model rose to fame during New York Fashion Week 2014 when she walked for Serena William's HSN fashion line. Denise was handpicked by Serena to be the only plus-size model to walk in the show. She was also the face of big brands like Levi's, Lane Bryant, Macy's, and Nordstrom.
Break-Out Moment of 2015: 2015 was all about embracing imperfections and not letting that define who you are. Denise joined the movement and made a stance with her campaign called, "Beach Body. Not Sorry." The Puerto Rican and Kuwaiti model proudly posed for unretouched photos and killed it in her bikini looks. "I love everything about my body. I've learned to just love every bit of it. I really love the stretch marks," she said in the promotional video.
