Meet: Dexter Mayfield - Male, Queer, Plus Size Model

Dexter Mayfield is doing his part for his fellow plus size men in fashion, striving to reach the level of visibility that the ladies have finally begun to achieve. According to Mic, Mayfield "would like to see it evolve to where the plus women have evolved,” he said. “I want a male Tess Holliday or Ashley [Graham]. They’re so stunning in their own way, and there are so many different body types. I want to shop with everyone else. I want to get to a point where it’s not rare to see a plus-size guy on a runway, or a plus-size woman in Paris Fashion Week, and not just in a plus-size show.”

Mayfield made waves and went viral for walking at that Marco Marco - known for creating elaborate and provocative outfits - show at Fashion Week Los Angeles - Watch the fierce performance here! ​
