SwimsuitsForAll, the retailer behind last year's plus-size take on the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, is back with more headline-making moves. The company has hired Ashley Graham to front the first-ever plus-size swimsuit ad campaign in the pages of Sports Illustrated's 2015 swimsuit edition. The ad features Graham wearing a bikini from the brand's Swim Sexy line and comes with a 10-second teaser showing men reacting to Graham's look. The new SI swimsuit edition hits newsstands on February 9th.
