Of course, being a body-positive model comes with its own sets of indifferences, like in almost every case, they had to face these mean comments about being fat, and it brings us back to what Dan Pearce said.

He is a German with a love for his country and culture. He runs a fashion blog that is entirely in his native language. But what we do get from his blog is that he is insanely photogenic with the best posing skills that’ll make you go Wow.
He fell into this god-forsaken heaven by mistake when he was helping in organizing the runways. That’s where how and he walked on the ramp with the models as a joke.
