Previously, the term "large size model" was also frequently used. Synonymous and interchangeable with plus-size model is "full-figured model", "extended-sizes model", "over-weight model", and "outsize model". This is especially true when participating in fashion editorials for mainstream fashion magazines. Therefore, plus-size models do not exclusively wear garments marketed as plus-size clothing. Plus-size models also engage in work that is not strictly related to selling clothing, e.g., stock photography and advertising photography for cosmetics, household and pharmaceutical products and sunglasses, footwear and watches.
