I am a Kate proponent and I will admit that she does not have model proportions and it is not simply that she has big boobs. However I think that her proportion issues are compensated for because she does have good modeling skills - she is a good poser, has good eye intensity and confidence - skills / talents that many fashion models who are top walkers and have shot numerous eds and campaigns have not mastered as well as Kate. But yeah a stylist cannot just put her in "anything" and she will probably have a higher proportion of unusable shots on her roll than the typical fashion model because something will probably be sticking out that shouldn't. It should be noted that the photographers, stylists, designers and editors that she is dealing with work with celebrities and older models all the time, most of whom don't have model proportions either.
At the end of the day I don't think it matters that much because of the path that she is on, she's a model but she is being booked, not simply as a clotheshanger in a fashion editorial, "Kate Upton" the person / "it girl" is also a key angle.

This sums it up. *edited8 Luckily for her, her boobs are crazy awesome and the current trend in America is for voluptuous women (thanks in part to the popularity of Mad Men but also simply because Americans have gotten really fat over the last few decades).
