GIRL WITH CURVES

Let’s face it—the body type of models is far from reality. Slim people do exist in real life, but there are women with bigger sizes who can look just as good. People come in all shapes and sizes, but many of us have been conditioned to believe that only one body type is ideal for fashion.

This is the mindset that Girl With Curves hopes to shatter. It made possible by people who believe women deserve to look and feel beautiful, regardless of weight, shape or size.

I hope to help women—particularly bigger sized women—build their confidence and self-esteem through fashion.

It includes trends, style tips, beauty advice, plus parenting and wellness. #StyleHasNoSize #BodyConscious

Fashion and style are for everyone, regardless of their body type.

In 2021, they launched the Girl With Curves at QVC collection, featuring pieces with true size inclusivity.

"Yumi Nu Is Your New Favorite Model"

“I was a baby model,” Nu says with a laugh. “But as a baby, all you do is poop and sleep,"

Yumi Nu is breaking down barriers.

She is one of the industry’s top curve model.

She has many irons in the fire.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SINGLE "Camouflage."

"Camouflage" is about my journey to body positivity , because that was something I didn’t like about myself for a long time.

Middle school in Maryland was a really hard time because I was the only Asian kid in an all-white school.

Names like “Godzilla” and “wing-wing” were

always thrown at me. so I thought I wasn’t

beautiful because beauty, at that age

, is measured by who likes you.

I just wanted something to reflect my journey

of self-love about my race and my body.

The real movement of body positivity for me, the movement I want to be a part of, is supporting someone whether they’re super skinny or overweight, ass or no ass, boobs or no boobs, it’s a universal consciousness to stand behind and support women’s looks. Overweight or underweight, you don’t know people’s stories. They could have a disorder or could be in recovery, and to comment on something like that is inappropriate.
