Days after Barbie Ferreira’s un-retouched advert for American Eagle Outfitters was unveiled, Ashley Graham has been announced as the face of fitness brand Addition Elle’s spring 2016 activewear range. She gave a TED Talk that went viral If you aren’t familiar with Graham's modelling campaigns, you may remember her from a talk she gave in 2016 titled, “Plus Size? You're a part of me and I love you.“ Graham also criticised the decision to label anyone over a US size eight ‘plus’ and called for the industry to start looking past the plus size model paradigms. Finally there’s someone talking about the jiggle, the cellulite, the rolls, and it feels like they’re like me.” She doesn’t want to be categorised by ‘plus size’ labels Graham supports the Plus is Equal campaign, which calls for the plus-size women who make up 67 per cent of the US to be equally represented in the media and fashion industry.
