Here's the Real First Plus-Size Model Ever in Sports Illustrated
Now let's consider what we're calling "plus-size."
Everyone was really excited yesterday that the first ever plus-size model would be making an appearance in this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. But the model in question, Ashley Graham, was actually in an ad for Swimsuits for All, a company specializing in swimwear in sizes 10 and up.
It’s great, but it’s not editorial content. As we noted, a baby step but not a full embrace from the SI editorial team.
Today, we have more info about the Swimsuit Issue and it turns out that there is a plus-size model among the various spreads in the magazine, this one starring Robyn Lawley.
