People: Plus-size gets into online fashion

Models are normally slim, but that is changing. As online stores hire plus-size models to advertize products, more diverse body types are becoming increasingly popular. Deng Deng works as a plus-size model with a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan ($7,263) at an online store. The store hired plus-size models to promote its products starting last year, reaching surprising revenue levels - over 100 million yuan last year. This year, its revenue is expected to reach 150 million yuan.
