Plus-size models pose for pictures in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, Dec 28, 2017. Plus-size models are in increasing demand in China amid a boom in the country's online shopping, according to Guangzhou Daily. In Hangzhou, capital of East China's Zhejiang province, Guo Zhenxing, a 32-year-old Taobao shop owner who sells plus-size clothes, has successively hired nine plus-size models to display clothes for his shop since last March. Guo's online shop earned an annual turnover of about 100 million yuan ($15.4 million) last year, but he feels the market has more potential. "The number of full-figured women is increasing as the standard of living improves. The market of plus-size is massive," Guo said. According to Huang, the hourly wage for top plus-size models can be as high as 2,000 yuan and the most popular plus-size model in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, can earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a day.(Photo/zjol.com.cn)
