Lydia Hudgen's debut photo book, featuring only plus-sized models: a first in fashion publishing.
In a landscape where magazine covers are still dominated by skinnier bodies and fashion week runways have moved backward in the models that are walking, Plus breaks with business as usual and features only plus-sized models in a celebration of diverse fashion and a demand for the industry to move forward.
Divided into three chapters - Beauty, Editorial, and Body - Lydia Hudgen's photography celebrates the beauty of all bodies, and the figures who've pushed fashion forward to welcome more people in. Alongside shoots of models, Plus features interviews with trailblazers like Kellie Brown who have made their mark on the fashion world.
The fashion industry needs to keep evolving, and these icons, models, and Hudgens are helping to make it happen.

Hudgens grew up in the San Francisco bay area and graduated with a bachelor's degree in fine art photography from the Academy of Art University. Her passion for the intentional nature of film has driven her recent works as she has returned to the analog process.

She's taken that passion and in 2021 began teaching monthly modelling classes at her Brooklyn studio, specializing in fluid movement and teaching models confidence in posing for more commercial applications.
