ABOUT PLUS MODEL KERI ATKINS
Plus Model Keri Atkins is 25 and based out of the NorthWest in
Portland Oregon. Keri did not foresee a future in the fashion industry, let alone a career as a plus model. Most of her life, she felt as if fashion was not for her, due to her size. In fact, it wasn't until she was an adult, when she saw her first plus model and campaign. Not long after this, Keri was approached by a store manager, asking her to consider plus modeling.
Over four years later, Keri is now signed with Plus10, a division of Theary Sim Inc. Her work has been seen in
USA TODAY,
POSE Magazine,
Skorch Magazine,
Pretty Pear Bride,
Rack PLUS Magazine,
Curves and Chaos and many other publications. Keri also participated in May Faith Photography’s ‘
BEAUTIFUL AS I AM’ campaign: meant to call attention to bullying. This campaign was published in the
HUFFINGTON POST, on countless blogs, local radio stations and lead to Keri being interviewed for a news feature, as well as being a guest for a
LIVE interview on
KGW NEWS. In October 2012,
Keri Atkins also won the prestigious award ‘
BEST PLUS MODEL’ at the 1st Annual
Portland Fashion and Style Awards. Keri Atkins recently participated in the
2013 Full Figured Fashion Week in New York. Not only this, but she was also the Featured model for Youtheary Khmer’s spread for
Portland Fashion Week. Keri also walked in
Portland Fashion Week for two designers. With countless features, spreads and editorials, Keri Atkins, based out of
Portland Oregon, has proven models of all shapes and sizes can have a successful career in the fashion industry.
