Gwen DeVoe is one of those talent scouts who has always been ahead of the pack, discovering and developing full figured modeling talent before it became a fad.
Ever evolving, DeVoe and her team are once again flipping the script. How so? The Face of Full Figured Fashion Week™ Cover Model Search returns with its own set of rules: if you’re a cover model hopeful who’s smaller than a size 14, you’ll have to sit this competition out.
