Sabina Karlsson (born 15 March 1988) is a Swedish plus size fashion model. Karlsson is of Gambian and Swedish descent. She started modeling at age 4; she was discovered in a Swedish hair salon. She was originally a straight size model, working for Teen Vogue, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Armani, but changed to plus size modeling in 2010 so that she could maintain her natural weight. She struggled to shrink down to a size 2 at age 17. As a plus size model she has walked the runway for Michael Kors, Christian Siriano, and Chromat. She has modeled for H&M, J. Crew, Levi's, Lane Bryant, River Island, L'Oreal, Maybelline, and Victoria's Secret. She has appeared in American Vogue, and Glamour.
