They choose ten ordinary women to represent their brand, rather than the typical thin model standard favored by the fashion industry. They range in ages from 18 to 45 and vary in sizes 8 to 18.

Bethenny Frankel was in the news this week, recounting her botched boob job and how she chose to have her breast implants removed, opting for a breast lift instead.
