Who: Ashley Graham caught the public's attention after she was the first plus-size model to be featured in Sports Illustrated. The magazine ran a SwimsuitsForAll ad where Ashley modeled a black string bikini. The size-16 model not only looked crazy sexy, but also used the opportunity to embrace her curves. "There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt. The world is ready for more curves in bikinis," she said.
Break-Out Moment of 2015: When she showed off her line Addition Elle at New York Fashion Week. The model and clothing designer not only presented her collection, but also walked down the runway in her own lingerie. During the show, the audience participated in the memorable experience with the hashtag #IAmSizeSexy as a way to support Ashley's monumental moment.
