“Sports Illustrated” has created quite a positive twist on their recent swimsuit edition that has everyone talking. For the first time in history, “SI” will publish their annual swimsuit edition featuring Ashley Graham, a well-known plus sized model.
The ad is part of a new ‘swimsuits for all campaign’, that aims to help celebrate the beginnings of the ‘Curvy Girl Era’ and to help women feel confident and sexy in any swimsuit.
The 27-year-old model, who is a size 14-16, has posed for “Elle,” “Harper’s Bazaar,” “Glamour,” and “Latina.” She has been very vocal about the need for society to embrace curves in the media. In January, she wrote an essay for The Edit, Net-a-Porter’s online magazine, encouraging women to love their bodies.
Plus-size models made serious strides in 2014 and with the understanding that the world is ready for more curves in bikinis, the model and the swimwear brand have plans to send a fierce message using social media. Tagged #CurvesinBikinis, they are hoping to let everyone know that having curvy girl pride is something to never be ashamed of.
You can see the edition with Ashley, who bares her curvy body in a tiny black bikini designed by the swimwear brand, when it hits stands on February 9th.
