Tahnee Atkinson Models for Bettina Liano Jeans

Tahnee Atkinson won the fifth season of Australia’s Next Top Model. Even though she was always a front-runner during the competition she was often criticized about her weight by judges, other contestants and fashion industry professionals. But since winning she gets the last laugh as she has had contracts with Maybelline, Harper’s Bazaar and now Bettina Liano jeans. The jeans company is launching a new campaign for their Curvy Fit jeans, a style of jeans that is roomier in the hip and thigh areas. Liano picked Tahnee for the campaign because of her fuller figure. She said,
“It has nothing to do with being fat or skinny, it’s about the shape of the body, not the size.”
Liano said that when they did their model search for the campaign that wanted someone who could project sex appeal, was young and had curves. By no means is Tahnee a plus-size model but her burgeoning model career is just another example of how industry standards are changing and people want to see ‘real’ women on the catwalk and in magazines.
