Lindsey Clark: Fashionista in the Making
25 years ago, plus size models were rarely seen on the catwalks of fashion shows, almost non-existent. That change when Melissa Miller, or known by her stage name Emme, broke the stereotypical barrier. Gaining worldwide fame becoming the first plus size model, by paving the way for the future models like Ashley Graham, Chloe Marshall, Tabria Majors, and countless others.
That’s where we meet Lindsey Clark; Recently, I had the absolute pleasure speaking with Lindsey. This southern fashionista is making waves on her Instagram page, showing off her coolish style, from modeling summer wear to nighttime attire. Lindsey is compelling force on body positivity, encouraging women who have curves, telling them it is okay to sport nice two-piece bikini or flaunting your curves in sexy lingerie without fear or self doubt.
Here is my interview with Lindsey Clark.
Tell us about yourself, where are you originally from? And how was life growing up for you?
I was born and raised in Monroe, Louisiana. We moved around a lot when I was young so I was constantly changing schools and it was hard on me. Life was rough for me as a child but my mother did the best she could at such a young age.
How would you describe your personality?
I have a down to earth vibe and I am very sweet but don’t cross me wrong. My attitude can come out in a blink of an eye.
What would the average person say about you?
I get told I am “bubbly” a lot and that my smile is everything. I once got hired for a job because my smile was mesmerizing the VP said. She said she knew from my smile that I was a good hearted, friendly person.
As a brand ambassador, which brands do you represent?
I represent Fashion Nova Curve, Xehar, ARTTwear, Rosegal, SHEin, VIBE apparel, Luminance Skincare, DEBshops, and The Perfect Sculpt.
What kind of advice would you share with young ladies who are uneasy about their bodies?
You only have ONE body, learn to love it! Learn to love every stretch mark, every curve, every dimple, every mark, every inch of your body. YOU are the only person who matters. Wear what makes YOU happy and not what society tells you to wear. LOVING yourself is the best medicine, the best self-care!
Do you consider yourself a role model for curvy women?
I do see myself as a role model for curvy woman! If I can show my confidence to the world, hunny so can you!

Fashion keeps me inspired and other plus and curvy models/influencers on Instagram keep me motivated!
I was browsing through your Instagram page, I must say, you have a unique style when it comes to clothing. Where do you get your inspiration from?
I definitely do not match anyone’s style, I have my own. I get inspiration from everywhere! Beautiful women I follow on IG, browsing through plus brands websites, even women I pass at the grocery store. Inspiration comes from anywhere.
When you're not working, what do you like to do on your free time?
I love to travel with my kids and make memories we can laugh about later in life.
What is the one thing people should know about you?
I am a dedicated mother of four and I work a full-time marketing career outside of fashion and modeling, there is no excuse to making your dreams come true!

Thank you Lindsey, Is there anything you would like to say to your followers and supporters?
THANK YOU! I wouldn’t be where I am today with the love and support from my friends and followers on IG. Thank you for showing me constant love and sharing your stories. The messages I receive from women letting me know how much they love themselves and how much their confidence has grown just from seeing photos through my IG makes my day! Never let someone dull your shine Queen! Ignore the hate, do not allow it to consume your mind.
