George Clooney’s curvy ex-girlfriend Lisa Snowdon is backing a new size 14 fashion show to take a stand against skinny models.

Snowdon, 39, who was a model herself, was unable to do average fashion shoots when she was younger because of her curvy figure and instead had to model for campaigns including Special K and Mercedes.

Snowdon has praised Mark Fast’s new fashion show for creating modelling opportunities for curvier ladies.

She told UK newspaper the Daily Mail: “There were certain lines or seasons that just were not for me. I couldn’t wear them so there were a lot of jobs I could not go for because I am curvy.

“But now I think fashion is changing and Mark’s work is a great step forward. I’m all for the more voluptuous model.”

The 24-year-old star said: “I swear, candy helps! Gummy bears!

Marisa said: “I’m honoured to help the Motor Company salute the brave men and women who keep our country free.

“My grandfather is a veteran and I’ve had the unique opportunity to meet several service men and women during recent USO tours, so the military holds a special place in my heart.

By logging on to a special section of the Harley-Davidson website www.harley-davidson.com/thankyou, Americans can create an electronic postcard featuring Marissa and Harley-Davidson motorcycles, as well as a personal message of thanks.

Harley-Davidson is also running a competition for military personnel to win a motorcycle personally delivered by Marisa.
