Sports Illustrated magazine continues to fight numerous stereotypes by showing that beauty can come in all shapes and sizes, as well as ages. For the first time in the history of of men’s magazines, a size-16 model, Ashley Graham, will appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated. 56-year-old Nichola Griffin, who only started modelling three years ago, and Philomena Kwao, an African American model, will also adorn the pages of this special issue.
So, are we witnessing a revolution in the fashion industry?
’Young and skinny models are becoming so commonplace today that we’ve decided to show that swimsuits can also look great on those who are older and bigger’’, says the president of Swimsuits for All, explaining the essence of the photo shoot.
’With this campaign, I want to help women understand that they can look fantastic whatever their size and however old they are. They all deserve to be happy, healthy and shining’’, says Nicola Griffin.
