Model Daisy Lowe, who always believed she was meant to have curves, says she finds herself too clumsy to be "properly sexy".
The 27-year-old model, who began her modelling career at the age of 15 after being signed to Select Model Management in 2004, believes she was born to have a curvaceous body because she didn't like her appearance when she weighed almost eight stone when she was younger, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Speaking about her body shape, she said: "When I was 19 and I split up from my first boyfriend (Will Cameron), I was so devastated I lost two stone (50 kg). I was eight and half stone, I went from a D-cup to an A-cup and my legs were sticks. I worked non-stop that year, but I didn't like it. I didn't feel like myself. I'm meant to have curves.
"I hate those labels. You don't say, 'White model' or 'Skinny model. Why should 'Plus size' models have a label? They all sell clothes, that's the job. I'm definitely a feminist. Women should be happy with their bodies."
Lowe, who has modelled for luxury designer brands Agent Provocateur lingerie, Burberry and Ben Sherman, revealed she is often told she has a "sexy body".
"I'm told by designers I have a sexy body and I accept that, but I never feel sexy. I'm far too clumsy to be properly sexy, I'm always falling over," she told Grazia magazine.
