Ashley Graham, the 29-year-old star and model from Nebraska, walked for the plus-size range Addition Elle at New York Fashion Week on Monday. Graham, who is well known for breaking down barriers in the fashion industry, was the main attraction at the brand's presentation.
The celebrated plus-size supermodel showcased sexy black and green underwear from her latest collection celebrating curves with confidence and spreading the massage that all women should feel beautiful, regardless of their body shape or dress size.
Ashley Graham is the first curvy model to appear on the covers of leading magazines, including Cosmopolitan, British Vogue and Sports Illustrated. She is a spokeswoman for promoting positive body image and self-confidence by encouraging women to be their happiest and most confident selves by recognizing their own personal beauty.
"I'm just fighting a fight for the women who don't want to be placed apart from other women because of the size of their hips”, she explained to E! Online.

The Model, with her stunning face and sexy curves, said in an interview for The Cut, that she wants to demolish stereotypes for the next generation of young women, who she hopes won't have to fight as hard for acceptance of their bodies' size.
“That really made me hyperaware that I am a big girl, and that's how people see me. I know I'm paving the way for the next generation of girls, and they're not going to have to do this. That's what I hope."
She also added: "I’m getting a seat at the table we’ve never had before, and I’m also pulling up a couple of seats around me. I know this isn’t about me. Just one girl is not going to change the world."
The supermodel Graham was joined on the runway by Jordyn Woods, the 19-year-old model who is considered a newcomer among the plus-size models. She was also allowed to develop her own collection for the brand. The creations, however, consist of much more fabric than Graham's lingerie: Woods presented ripped jeans and oversize jackets.
