The Bettina Bigger Babes agency
was formed by former international model Bettina Petrone 8 years ago.
Bettina started the agency when she noticed a growing wave of public
dissatisfaction with how the ‘average’ woman was being portrayed in the
media and in advertising.
She observed that a large
proportion of Australian women were sick & tired of the skinny, gaunt
looking models being used to show off the latest fashions. She believed
that females were more interested in seeing advertisements featuring
real women like them, wearing clothes that are made for their body
shapes.
She was also heavily driven by a
desire to promote real plus-sized models within the industry in an
effort to help reduce the incidence of obesity and anorexia among young
girls. Eating disorders that have taken a huge toll on the youth of
today as girls look to emulate the stick-like models they see in
magazines and on the catwalk.
From all accounts it appears that
many of the most forward thinking advertisers are embracing this
societal shift and are taking the industry in a new direction. This
shift can be measured just by looking at some of the household names
that our beautiful girls have modelled for including Target, Kmart,
Chain Reaction, Slimform, Holeproof, Big City Chic, Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, NAB and
Australia Post.
