Career[edit]
Tara Lynn drew attention in the fashion world after being featured in V and in the French Elle’s plus-size fashion shoot. She has also appeared on the cover of the June, 2011 Vogue Italia on the Spanish July 2010 XL-Semanal, in Elle-Québec and in Time magazine in 2010.[7] She has also been featured Glamour.[8] She appeared on the covers of various issues of Lucky Fall Jeans' promotional magazine.[9]
Tara Lynn has appeared in advertisings for H&M.[10]
When Tara Lynn was the covergirl for Elle, the picture was accompanied by the tagline 'The Body' implying that hers is the shape women should aspire to - rather than a slim figure.[11] Since then, Lynn has become one of the faces of plus-size modelling.[12] In an interview she admitted to being bullied at as a teenager: 'I was a size 14/16 (UK size 18 - 20) in high school, and it wasn't the easiest thing. (...) As a 16, I definitely felt like my weight was holding me back. I was supposed to have these bones protruding from my body and clearly that's not the case, and not the way my body's meant to be.[13]
