With thousands of photo shoots and over 7000 hours of live; unscripted TV under her belt, Kelly has earned the label “channel stopper” from TV Executives and Insiders alike.  Kelly has broken the "size barrier" and proven that beauty is not limited to an ideal, but is instead, attainable and real.  She is a pioneer in the special sizes market; the first plus size model recognized by the national press to attain Supermodel status and remains one of the most photographed plussize models in the world.  Kelly has become a popular speaker, spokesmodel, and is a "special sizes" modeling icon.  Kelly is the first "Ambassador of Size" and a pioneer of the phrase; "I am a Woman of Size- NOT Size Tag!"

Discovered in a national plus-size model search in 1987, Kelly's career has taken her to every continent on the globe.  Several of the many companies Kelly has spoken on behalf of include; Champion Women's Apparel, Just My Size Hosiery, Patrizia S by Mondi and K-Mart.  She was one of only two plussize models in the 1990’s to secure a contract with a cosmetic/beauty company and again in April 2009, Kelly was chosen as the Global Spokeswoman for RAW Natural Beauty;  a clinically proven, 100% natural skincare and cosmetic collection.  Kelly believes that all of us can benefit by reducing the amount of chemicals we use on our skin.  "RAW Natural Beauty completely changed my preconceived belief that natural skincare is all talk and no action," Kelly says.

An accomplished marathoner, Kelly has broken what she has coined "stereobarriers" to the thought that only thin people are beautiful, healthy and fit.  Her uplifting message; "There are no such things as figure flaws- just figure challenges." has brought inspiration and the message of self acceptance to millions of women across the globe.  As a Ford Model for almost a decade, Kelly accepted an opportunity to reach millions of women every day with her expertise and passion for all things fashion and beauty, and joined the Home Shopping Network family.  During her time as an HSN Showhost, Kelly’s diverse background, bubbly personality and gift of gab, lead to her working with some of the hottest film and TV celebrities in the industry as well as developing her own weekly 1-hour fashion show.  Helping her viewers find their inner beauty by showing them how they too can “Go from Muumuu to WooHoo!”  is why Curve Appeal with Kelly Repassy  became HSN’s go-to show for fashion advice and beauty tips for women of all sizes. 

Kelly has earned her Accredited Jewelry Professional certification from the GIA, sold over $300 million in merchandise during her 7-year career at HSN and has developed a loyal following of viewers eager for her next beauty trick or fashion tip from her life and travels.
