Tyra Banks has said that she feels partly responsible for the rise of plus-size models.
The host of 'America's Next Top Model' told Pop Eater that she is "very happy" to see plus-size models in fashion magazines.
She said: "I am actually really, really happy [about the success of plus-sized models]. When I pitched the idea of Top Model to the network, I said I have to have plus-sized models and that was a different time, so they were like, 'Eh, whatever'.
"Now to see V magazine and Glamour and Chanel and Marc Jacobs embracing it... it's great. The thing is we have to make sure it isn't just a trend. Women's bodies come in so many different sizes, I am hoping it is not a trend and we can continue the different looks."
