But, back in 1997, she made the switch to plus-size modeling and began building an impressive career. By 1999, she was honored as the first inductee into the International Model Hall of Fame. When Angellika first started, she had never heard of curve modeling or seen someone who looked like her gracing magazine covers. Decades later, we coaxed Angellika out of retirement so that she could lend her talent to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/wear\/move-fashion-forward\/\">Move Fashion Forward<\/a> campaign. Obviously, she more than lived up to her reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Press play on the video above for Angellika\u2019s story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped columns-3 wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/musings\/angellika-move-fashion-forward\/attachment\/angellika_merchcrop2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"520\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/know\/angellika-move-fashion-forward\/?tp_image_id=17241\" data-id=\"17241\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/gutenberg-blog-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Angellika_MerchCrop2.jpg\" alt=\"angellika close up dress\" class=\"wp-image-17241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Angellika_MerchCrop2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Angellika_MerchCrop2-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Angellika_MerchCrop2-300x390.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Animal print is one of our favorite fall trends.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/musings\/angellika-move-fashion-forward\/attachment\/angellika_merchcrop1\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"520\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/know\/angellika-move-fashion-forward\/?tp_image_id=17240\" data-id=\"17240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/gutenberg-blog-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Angellika_MerchCrop1.jpg\" alt=\"angellika plus size leopard print dress\" class=\"wp-image-17240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Angellika_MerchCrop1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Angellika_MerchCrop1-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Angellika_MerchCrop1-300x390.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/products\/isabelle-printed-wrap-dress-14200?utm_source=bl&amp;utm_medium=ed&amp;utm_campaign=1332\">Isabelle Printed Wrap Dress<\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Browse our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/shop?utm_source=bl&amp;utm_medium=ed&amp;utm_campaign=1333\">Shop page<\/a>&nbsp;for the latest releases of our favorite fall fashions\u2014and keep checking back throughout the season as more styles become available!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dia&amp;Co | Angellika Is Moving Fashion Forward\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O98YeZCCpiw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All season long, we\u2019re showcasing women from all different industries who are using their careers and platforms to move forward the lives of the plus-size community.
