Our second What's Underneath episode in partnership with Chantelle stars model Clementine Desseaux. We love Clem for tearing down the notion that models live their lives like their photoshopped and oversexed campaigns and editorials. On her Instagram and Facebook, Clem posts pictures of herself and her perfect imperfections -- her cellulite, her "belly," and her pimples -- to reveal that models are real people. The first curvy girl to appear on  TV in France, she was ridiculed in her country for not supporting the myth of the petite, cute French woman who "eats croissants all day and never puts on weight." Clem took life into her own hands by leaving France and finding a newfound peace with herself in the USA. Empowered by the diversity of NYC, Clem, no longer trying to change her laugh or her weight, now wakes up feeling like Cinderella. If a princess is someone who embraces their body instead of forcing it to fit preposterous beauty norms, then Clem, to us, is unquestionably worthy of the tiara.
