Denise Mercedes is a Dominican plus-size model, fashion blogger, and influencer who was born and raised in New Jersey. She is a size 14 Dominican plus-size model, fashion blogger, and influencer. She began modeling when she was only 13 years old. It all started when she worked as a receptionist at a photography studio. All of the models who came into the studio to shoot motivated her to become a model when she was working as an assistant. Denise’s supervisor would let her and her pals take photos in the studio for fun on her days off. Posing for the camera became a hobby for Denise.

Denise, a mature woman of 21, fit into the plus size fashion range of sizes 12-14 by the age of 21. She decided to start fashion blogging for plus-size women as a full-time college student. She enjoyed the notion of putting together clothes, taking photos, and then sharing them on social media. As she continued to blog, her social media following grew rapidly, and she began to collaborate with several plus-size stores. Denise was able to break into the modeling world as a result of this.
