This Might Be the Most Body-Positive Runway Show Ever Staged
Ashley Graham
The star of the show struts her stuff!

Second year showing at #NYFW is a dream come true!” she shared on Instagram. “For any girl or woman who has ever felt that they weren’t represented in fashion/TV/media because of your size — you are now and forever will be! #beautybeyondsize.” (Photo: Getty Images)

Marquita Pring, who looked amazing in a matching red underwear and bra set accessorized with a choker and fur stole, congratulated Ashley Graham on Instagram. She wrote, “Such a sexy collection, #IWantItAll! So SO proud of you and all that you’re doing!”
Sabina Karlsson
After walking in the Christian Siriano show as one of five plus-size models on the runway, Sabina Karlsson took the stage for Addition Elle. On Instagram, she recently opened up about her experiences in the industry. “When I started of as a straight size model (US size 4) I thought that the only way to be beautiful was to be skinny,” she wrote. “I wish that someone would’ve told 17 year old Sabina – that one day you’ll appreciate the body you’re suppose to have.” (Photo: Getty Images)
