Welcome to Talking Body, a new series where we have honest conversations with women about their bodies. We're kicking off with Australian Georgina Burke from the modeling agency JAG, an agency that represents models of all sizes, sans labels. Burke is a brand ambassador for Torrid (and was the face of the brand's collection with Rebel Wilson) and has also modeled for Addition Elle and Simply Be. Here, she sounds off on her body image as well as the larger changes in the industry— "any label's not a good label"—alongside a sneak peek of a new promo JAG is launching, shot by Skye Parrott. I started [modeling] in London, but my career really only kicked off when I moved to New York. I've been in New York for the last five years—people were more accepting of my size in the States. I would say my body is definitely 'curvy,' obviously, but I don't really use words exactly to describe it. It's more…it is what it is. It is curvy. It's got its lumps and its bumps but that's what gives it character. Honestly, I don't feel anything towards the word 'plus-size.' It doesn't affect me. All I worry about is that it affects other people that look to me as inspiration and they're like, she's called 'plus,' so what does that make me? When, really, it's just an industry term. Any label's not a good label. Honestly, the way I dress, it's probably hiding my body but it's always in a way that you'd still know I'm curvy. I'll wear massive wide-leg pants, but it'll be cinched in at the waist with a little bodice top. It's all relative to my style and my style changes daily. I want to be more, not 'covered,' but I don't like to have all my goods on show 24/7. My favorite part of my body is all of it. But if I could choose just one thing, maybe my tummy, my stomach, my midsection. I think it's one of the sexiest parts of a woman—on any woman. I think what's really happening in the plus-size industry is it's getting way too sexualized. It's like, how much boobs and butt can we see?! I don't think it should all be that we have to run around naked and show ourselves in bra and undies. Don't get me wrong—I was doing that too the other day—but at the same time, I think it's still beautiful to see a woman that can wear clothes and look elegant and still be put together and still be sexy, every inch of herself. "My favorite part of my body is all of it." When shopping, I do shop at all the designer stores. I'm not afraid. Like, I'll wear a size 8–it just might be different on me. It's not like I don't actually register that I'm a size 14. I wear whatever I want, as I want. It might not be true to the way the designer wanted it to be, but I guess that's what styling is about. I was always a confident woman, to be honest. I did equestrian sports. And that really puts your body on display: You're wearing white, tight jodhpurs. You've got to be fit and confident. And I wasn't fit. I was a chubby little kid, but I still did it because it was a passion. Modeling is a passion. Yes, I could be thinner. Yes, I could be more skinny, toned, whatever. But I am just doing me. I'm happy in myself and I think that's all that matters. I think I have considered going down a size, but I don't know if that's to open more doors, editorial-wise, if it would help me or what. I think you always think the grass is greener on the other side. But right now my shape's working for me not only work-wise, but health-wise as well. I feel pretty good in myself so I'm not too worried whether I go up or down because I haven't fluctuated in a long time. I think there's become more of a way for these bigger girls to get in these magazines because they've got a social following. It's not because they're a model. That's not just me saying that. I don't even look at my followers on social media. I feel, because all my friends and family are so far away, I like to have a bit of tongue-in-cheek on my Instagram. I don't take myself a hundred percent seriously as much as I probably should. But I'm not hashtagging or tagging everybody to get a million followers. It's literally like: Here's a taste of my life. Yes, I'm a little nuts. I'm Australian. This is what I get up to. Take it or leave it. I'm not putting a million selfies up every day. I'm just showing them my life. I think social media is super empowering but at the same time, I think Instagram has damaged some things because, like I said before, Instagram has become just too sexualized. I want to show day-to-day. Like of course I'll promote my lingerie campaign shots, but at the same time, I want to show what I'm like and my personality rather than just look like a sex symbol. It's kind of sad because it's almost like brands feature plus models for the shock value, to get noticed. It shouldn't be like that. Those campaigns should just be released, and it just happens, and then another one should be released. It shouldn't just happen occasionally. We need a happy medium of using a plus model and then shooting a straight-size model too and intertwining them instead of segregating everything. And I wish people in the industry didn't have the misconception that 'plus' models are not as agile or we can't move or that we're not able enough as a straight-size model because they think our size restricts us. When anybody asks me, 'What do you do?' I'm say, 'I'm a model–just on a grander scale.' That's all it is.

As we've shared in the past, we want our models to be interesting, hard-working women in addition to being stone cold stunners Katie was a great fit for us and a pleasure to work with - she is a size 8/10, created a hilarious podcast called The Chatty Kathys with her fellow model roommates, and is working hard to show brands that turning a blind eye to "plus size" is a thing of the past. How did you get into modeling? When I was 17 I was scouted (by another model actually) in Australia for a curve agency. I didn't take it too seriously so left it for a while, but a few years later after traveling and starting university, I decided to give it a shot. I ended up going to work in London and Germany and have modeled full-time since then! In what ways have you witnessed beauty standards changing in the modeling industry? I have been modeling for about 5 years, and even in that short time, I have seen the industry change. The diversity of model boards has greatly improved, as well as the opportunities available. I feel like both the industry and consumers are catching on to the power and importance of relatability. Tell us about a few things that are important to you outside of modeling. I love the outdoors and being active - I live in New York so I love to cycle or walk everywhere. I also love cooking and my new obsession has been making everything in my pantry from scratch - it's often not very practical but it's fun! Describe your approach to personal style. What is your relationship with your closet like? I was recently home in Australia and when looking through old clothes at my family home I realized that I have had the same taste since I was a teenager. For the most part, I really do love building a capsule wardrobe with high-quality basics that I feel like myself in. I normally wear monochrome basics but will go a bit more wild with the shoes and coat! When do you feel your best (most confident, most strong, most beautiful)? Normally when I'm in Australia- when you're at the beach it's impossible to not feel powerful! Also when I'm with my best friends or family. Were there any Brass pieces you tried and loved at the shoot? The T-Shirt Dress was super cute and definitely a summer staple! As well as The Ponte Pants - so so comfortable (I refuse to wear something that's cute but is a pain!). Source: https://brassclothing.com/blogs/news/getting-to-know-katie-muirhead-our-newest-model
