[Influencenews I Hyeseon LEE, Correspondent] Charli Howard is a British fashion model and writer. Although she is actively working as a model now , she had a lot of difficulties until her debut as a model.

She always failed in model auditions. Even the casting director told her that her figure was not suitable for modeling.

When she became a model, she could not lose as much weight as she wanted.

Recalling the past, she said, "That (excessive weight loss) was abnormal, and now it's back to its original form. I tried to fit the standards of strange beauty, but could not follow."

She added "The perspective of the fashion world has changed. I used to think a model should be either skinny or fat.  I wanted to show that ordinary and natural size can act as a model."

Meanwhile, she published a book about her story, and campaigning for those suffering from anorexia or bulimia is widely delivering a "Body-positive" message.
