David Hasslhoff's daughter, plus-size model Hayley Hasselhoff stands up for women of all sizes

Plus-size women are more involved in the modeling industry now.

Hayley Hasselhoff's voice was among the plus-size models urging the fashion industry to fully embrace all different sizes. The 22-year-old model praised the movement in catching up with mainstream, noting that people are beginning to realize the meaning of what they are fighting for. During her exclusive interview with The Daily Mail, Hayley encourages everyone to support the campaign and fund the upcoming documentary-film, Straight/Curve.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - "People are talking about plus-size models in a different light, and they're grasping the fact we aren't just models - we have a voice in the body movement that's going on," said Hayley in her interview.

She explained she is excited over the movement that helps people open their eyes and see that fashion is for everyone in every age, size and race. Recently, the fashion industry has started picking up the message and paving way for plus-size models.

"We have young girls who are feeling really bad about themselves because of the images that my industry's putting out, and this has been a problem for years and years and years," explained Jennie Runk, the 26-year-old model famous for her 2013 H&M swimwear campaign, adding that she believes she could be part of the solution, while being a part of the industry itself.

When Hayley started in the modeling industry at 14, most images of women produced were of thin women, but she said she's lucky to have more experienced plus-size role models around, putting her at ease.

"These women had curves and were toned and beautiful. To be 14 and still figuring out my way, and to see these women, I got very inspired by them," she told the outlet.
