EXCLUSIVE: Hayley Hasselhoff, 30, daughter of Baywatch star David, has been a plus-size model since the age of 14 and here reveals how she teaches others to love their bodies
If someone had told me as a child that one day I’d be working as a model and body activist, I’d never have believed them. I suffered from crippling social anxiety and struggled going to school.
By 14, I was signed to an agency. That really helped my confidence. “Back then, plus-size or curve models were niche and I’d never seen girls with fuller figures in fashion campaigns. Women are beautiful in all shapes and sizes. “Things took a toll on my mental health, though, so now I am a huge advocate for telling other people about my anxiety and depression and how I haven’t let it hold me back.
People need to be able to relate to models when they look at fashion. There are amazing high-street brands who have opened up their size ranking, but they don’t have them on the floor, or if they do, it’s a small rack in the back. “So I think it’s about changing the conversation around that. It’s completely normal to have bad and good times. You’re not always going to feel great about how you look, but don’t ever let anyone make you feel like you don’t matter.
