Ashley Graham Broke the Barriers in the Fashion World
The brunette beauty has indeed made a name for herself in the fashion industry.
In 2016, she made history as the first-ever size-16 model to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue.
For decades, the sports magazine has been featuring slim models such as Irina Shayk, Heidi Klum, Lily Aldrige, Barbara Palvin, and more; however, the "American Beauty Star" host brought the curvaceous and plus-size models into the mainstream.
In her previous interview with Glamour, she pointed out that runways and magazine covers are not just for size two models.
"It was for every woman. Most of us have not been told, 'If you have cellulite and your thighs rub together, who cares?'"
Seeing that she needs to address things on a larger scale, she opted to use social media as a way to connect to millions of women.
She then began posting body positivity images that include selfies and behind-the-scenes snaps at fashion shoots with the hashtag #beautybeyondsize.
With Ashley Graham's Instagram feed featuring real women with real curves, her fan base snowballed and has now reached 12.1 million followers.
Following her rising stardom, she has booked major campaigns with whom she shared the same outlook--his includes Calvin Klein and Levi's
