In an Instagram post, 27-year-old plus-size model Ashley Graham expressed her excitement for her latest ad campaign. ET Online revealed she has now made history by posing in Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue, which is the first ever edition to feature a plus-size model.
"Secret's out!! So honored to be the face of #CurvesInBikinis for @swimsuitsforall!," Ashley Graham captioned her Instagram post. "Can't wait for the ad's debut in the @SI_Swimsuit issue! by @nomadrj by @Vincent_Longo by @sinavelke by @the_line_up @tobias.lewis #beautybeyondsize #sexystateomind #lovetheskinyourein #curvesfordays #ashleygraham"
Ashley Graham's Sports Illustrated swimsuit ad is stunningly sexy and inspirational at the same time, which is part of a new Swimsuits For All promotion. According to People, Swimsuits For All is a widely famous swimwear shopping site that launched the #CurvesinBikinis campaign aiming to help celebrate the start of the "Curve Girl Era" and to help women gain confidence and feel sexy in any swimsuit.
"I know my curves are sexy and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too," Graham stated. "There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt. The world is ready for more curves in bikinis. Swimsuits For All helps women feel confident and sexy in swimsuits, and I am so thrilled to be a part of the #CurvesinBikinis campaign!"
The ad campaign, which Ashley Graham shared an Instagram sneak peek on Wednesday, will be seen on Sports Illustrated and will be hitting the newsstands on Feb. 9.
Along with an Instagram teaser, Ashley Graham is also seen in a 34-second video where she redefined the perfect skinny bikini bod into a much healthier and curvier physique. She was then seen ditching her bikini top leaving her topless at the end of the video.
Meanwhile, Swimsuits For All CEO and President Moshe Laniado has also released a statement about the new ad campaign, Gossip Cop revealed.
"Tastes and body types change over time and curves have never been more 'in'," Laniado said. "There is no better way to celebrate and show off than by donning a bikini. When the #CurvesInBikinis ad in Sports Illustrated is released, the world will be watching and they'll like what they see." Last year, the company famously recreated the magazine's cover with curvy models."
