Ashley Graham (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/05/29/ashley-graham-ted-talk_n_7470856.html) made history in 2015 when she starred in the first-ever plus-size ad to run (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/02/04/ashley-graham-sports-illustrated-swimsuit-issue_n_6608528.html) in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=news/sports-illustrated-swimsuit-issue/) -- but even that enormous feat feels like child's play now.
The model/designer/body activist (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/05/29/ashley-graham-ted-talk_n_7470856.html)will appear in an editorial in next week's 2016 swimsuit issue (http://www.si.com/categories/swim-daily). She joins Robyn Lawley, who last year became the first plus-size model (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/02/05/robyn-lawely-sports-illustrated-swimsuit-issue-2015_n_6623828.html) to ever officially pose for the highly anticipated mag. Graham confirmed the news on Instagram Tuesday by sharing a shot from the spread.
It's official - I'm a @sportsillustrated swimsuit model!! This is a dream come true. Thank you to everyone who stood up for curves- our voices were heard and together we can help me win Rookie of the Year. Stay tuned for voting instructions #beautybeyondsize #islay (https://www.instagram.com/p/BBkhfzqzZ82/)

Clad in a purple two-piece swimsuit, Graham is perfectly at home on camera (http://www.si.com/swim-daily/2016/01/20/ashley-graham-si-swimsuit-2016-rookie-reveal), as she should be. She's regularly featured in bikinis and skivvies thanks to her own lingerie line (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/ashley-graham-lingerie-line-photos_us_5694fdb0e4b09dbb4bac7bde) as well as her recently announced partnership with Swimsuits for All (http://www.bustle.com/articles/129965-plus-size-model-ashley-graham-swimsuitsforall-just-announced-something-major-for-2016).
With New York Fashion Week (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=news/new-york-fashion-week/) starting Thursday, it's is the perfect time for the message that sexy comes in all shapes and sizes. Here's hoping we see some of that sprinkled onto the runways (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/body-diversity-fashion-new-york-fashion-week_us_55fb1d4fe4b0fde8b0cd8379), too.
