Arise of concept of plus size model
The inception of the plus-size modeling trend originated in Chitwan through the "Miss Plus Size Chitwan" beauty pageant, welcoming women ranging from 60 to 105 kilograms.
During a press conference held on Saturday, organizer Anil Basnet announced plans to expand the Miss Plus Size competition to other cities in Nepal shortly, with aspirations for an international platform following its success locally.
President Bishnu Bohara disclosed that women from Chitwan, Makwanpur, and Nawalparasi would participate in this inclusive beauty pageant, highlighting the capacity and beauty of healthier individuals.
Ranjit Chhetri, a board member of the Chitwan School of Fashion, emphasized the importance of beauty pageants transcending body size, advocating for a focus on building confidence and societal impact.
Auditions for Miss Plus Size Chitwan are scheduled for Jestha 16, with the finale slated for Ashar in Kathmandu.
