Amy Lemons is an American fashion model and model advocate. As a straight sized model, she rose to fame quickly, by landing the cover of Italian Vogue at age 14. Her ascent in the modeling industry included shooting the covers of Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Elle and Marie Claire. She also landed campaigns for Abercrombie and Fitch, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Jill Sander and Louis Vuitton. After a brief hiatus to earn her college degree from UCLA, Amy came back to the modeling industry as a plus-size model and began speaking out about the industry's "zero-sized standard" and healthy self-esteem for young women.
Amy Lemons is currently represented by Wilhelmina Models and is an avid spokesperson about both the perils of the Fashion modeling industry and the honest portrayals of the Fashion modeling business. She is an advocate for positive body image around the world. In September 2009, Amy was featured in Glamour Magazine along with 6 other fashion models (Crystal Renn, Ashley Graham, Kate Dillon, Anansa Sims, and Jennie Runk) who are larger than standard sample size. In 2010, Amy appeared in New York Magazine as part of Sara Ziff's "Picture Me" documentary on the often hidden side of fashion modeling.
