Cosmopolitan Fashion Director Nicole Adolphe talked about using 6’2”, US size 12 model Robyn Lawley in her swimsuit spread for Cosmo Australia’s November issue.

Robyn totalle embodies what a real woman is, and our readers adore her — so I HAD to shoot her for our special swim issue. And what a shoot, she simply oozes sexuality and is the ultimate Cosmo girl.’

Steven Chee captured the beauty, who recently landed a major contract with Ralph Lauren, in the Cook Islands’ Aitutaki Lagoon. It was Ralph Lauren’s 2009 photoshopping and firing of Filippa Hamilton for being too fat that launched this Body channel at AOC.

Last month Lady Gaga received a lot of attention and backlash over her recent weight gain. In response Robyn Lawley wrote a piece for The Daily Beast, saying ‘I’m Proud of My Body’.

My trainer said I was the first woman to come up to him and say, “I don’t want to lose weight, I want to be strong and fast.” Instead of spending hours lamenting over weight loss, I channeled all that energy into living my life to the fullest, day in and day out. What’s so amazing about being a size 0 anyway? Is it because that person exhibits control in a hedonistic world? Or is it just a tool of manipulation against us? I am proud of my body, flaws and all.

Before sharing Robyn Lawley’s food blog Robyn Lawley Eats, I do feel compelled to say that she is 6’2” and works out A LOT. Low calorie these foods are not. But most of the photos are gorgeous, and I see a cook book in Robyn’s future. ~ Anne
