Real women? real curves! Plus-size supermodel Emme was thrilled to see it all celebrated on the catwalk.
"Sixty-two million women are a size 12 and above. And finally they can see a show that's really suiting them," she said.
According to OneStopPlus.com, which produced the groundbreaking show, "Plus" size is considered size 12 and above, and it's now a $47-billion industry.
ET was exclusive backstage, where the snack table was laden with pastries and croissants. Toccara, who once turned heads on "American's Next Top Model," says no dieting for her -- being a plus-size model is liberating.
"We don't departmentalize and be like, 'Oh! You know, lose 10 pounds! Your hips have to be this size, your waist has to be this size! Don't eat, don't drink.' We get to eat cheeseburgers!" she gushed.
The norm in most runway shows are models who wear a size zero or a size two. Whitney Thompson was also on "ANTM" and has a problem with that.
"I was boycotting New York Fashion Week for years," she said. "These designers would put me in the front row and dress me and have me get all the press for them, but they wouldn't put a girl on the runway that was my size."
Meanwhile, Nikki Blonsky suggested, "Everybody come out and say, 'Hey, we're plus-size, but fashion still rocks and we can rock in it."
