WASHINGTON — Curvaceous Ashley Graham will make some history in the upcoming Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
The plus-sized model will be featured in the magazine’s first plus-size ad, when it comes out Feb. 9.
Graham will wear a black string bikini in an ad for swimwear company SwimsuitsForAll. The bikinis in the Swim Sexy line range from size 10 through 34.
The campaign featuring Graham is called #curvesinbikinis.
“I know my curves are sexy and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too,” Graham said, in a statement. “There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt.”
“The world is ready for more curves in bikinis,” said Graham, who was discovered in a mall and began her modeling career at age 12.
She has been featured in Glamour, Vogue, and Elle, and has appeared in campaigns for Lane Bryant and Levi’s.
