James Corbin never set out to be a model. Scouted on Instagram during the 2020 lockdown, the 24-year-old’s first-ever shoot was for the revered fashion magazine, Vogue Italia.
At 6ft 1in Corbin has the height of a traditional runway model. However, with a 56-inch chest and 44-inch waist – taking a size 3XL – he falls into a male modelling category he wasn’t familiar with: plus-size.
