Kelly Brook says she felt like an ‘outsider’ in the fashion industry because of her curvaceous figure and claims it prevented her from getting modelling jobs

Kelly Brook revealed she has always felt like an ‘outsider’ in the fashion industry because of her curvaceous figure. 

The model, 42, who has been in the industry for almost three decades, claimed she would miss out on job opportunities as fashion bosses would hire slimmer models. 

During an interview with The Sun’s Fabulous Magazine, spoke about how the industry has changed and how she now embraces her curves. 

‘I was very curvy and not what was considered a fashionable shape’: Kelly Brook revealed she has always felt like an ‘outsider’ in the fashion industry because of her curvaceous figure

Kelly told the publication: ‘Working with fashion brands is always something I have loved but not all of them were always open to me because of my shape. I was very curvy and not what was considered a fashionable shape.

‘The fashion industry has changed so much, even buying glamorous sets of underwear and swimwear used to be impossible if you were over a C cup.

The actress then opened up about an experience which ‘I remember my first fitting. I was given a maternity bra and I was only around 14.’

Kelly went on to explain she always felt like an ‘outsider’ because of her curves and said many others feel the same. 

She believes clothes should cater to all shapes, sizes and ages which is what she had in mind when she designed her new F&F range.

It comes after Kelly got married in a lavish ‘£500,000’ Italian wedding day with her husband Jeremy Parisi.

The pair were pictured looking elated on their rainy but special day with the Italian town of Civitavecchia as their backdrop, famed for its historic architecture.

Kelly looked at the camera with her eyes lit up after just tying the knot, holding her bouquet of white roses contrasting against her traditional ivory dress.

On the day in July, she was seen holding the floor-length hemline of her dress away from the rough terrain surrounding Torre di Cicero – the 19th century villa that served as their wedding venue. 

The ceremony had originally been planned as an outdoor event in an area some 1,500 metres high, but an unexpected rainstorm prompted a last minute change of plans.

Consequently, the bride, groom and an assortment of friends and family members celebrated the ceremony within the walls of Torre di Cicero.

It’s understood that Kelly pulled out all the stops for the day, with the bride-to-be paying for funfair rides and inviting A-list guest Kylie Minogue, according to The Sun.

The publication reported that the former Big Breakfast host has thrown ‘the kitchen sink’ at her wedding to give her and Jeremy the day to remember, with the plans turning into an ‘extravagant affair’.

The model is said to have splashed out up to £500,000 for her big day.

A source told The Sun: ‘Kelly has thrown the kitchen sink at her wedding and it’s turning into quite an extravagant affair. She has booked the Villa Nota Pisani in central Italy for the ceremony and reception.’

The insider added that the villa is a ‘beautiful location’ and the couple ‘fell in love with it’ immediately after setting eyes on it.

They went on: ‘Kelly has invited all her friends and stars like Kylie are on the guestlist. The ceremony is going to be really romantic but Kelly wants to give her family and pals a real party afterwards. She has been in talks with a company to put on a funfair for everyone — and the drinks will be flowing all night.’

After earning her fortune following a successful 25 year career as a model, actress and media personality, it appeared there was no expense spared when it came to making Kelly’s wedding dream come true.
