Plus-size models make history at New York Fashion Week.

History was made at New York Fashion Week yesterday when a group of gorgeous models of all shapes and sizes took to the catwalk to model a collection of lingerie designed by plus-size model and body-positive campaigner Ashley Graham.

The size 16 model, who is 28 years-old, debuted her lingerie line for Canadian retailer Addition Elle by both starring in and running the show alongside a cast of her fellow curvy models.

 

How refreshing to see real, strong, beautiful women in a place of influence, about time wouldn't you say!?

 

Society has us so programmed to what is supposedly beautiful and not.

 

Even having shed some 25kg I still look in the mirror and want to improve my body and wonder if I will ever get to a place of being 100% content with what I see looking back at me.

 

I saw such a powerful quote the other day. 'Self-acceptance is more important than self-improvement.' Isn’t that just so profound? 

Would you be comfortable to walk down a runway in lingerie?
