The most famous plus-size model in the world, Ashley Graham, appeared in a new beach photo shoot, becoming the main star of the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK.
The 31-year-old fat model decorated the cover of the July edition of the British gloss, in an interview with whom she touched upon the shortcomings that helped her to achieve world fame and change the modern world of fashion.
“I have cellulite, fat on my back and all over my body … But it was thanks to these shortcomings that women had the opportunity to share their experience and stop feeling ashamed because of their bodies. If we all feel the same, then why are we stressed about this? I never turned to a psychologist, because for me, the best therapy was to talk with women like me”, – the model says.
Graham also added that the main motivation for her was not money, but the mission:
“I was raised in a Christian family and always wondered what my purpose in life was. I believe that I am changing the fashion industry. I never wanted money. I had a mission. Every day I told myself that I am brave, beautiful, I deserve all the best in life. I repeated it like a mantra, every day of my life since I turned 18,” – says the star.
The model summarized that many years later she became a fearless woman:
“When I look in the mirror, I see a fearless woman. I see a leader. I see a bold, hardworking woman who has turned no to yes. I also see an intelligent woman who does not allow uncertainty or problems to contain her. I see my big hands, my cellulite, my imperfect stomach, my beautiful curves, and I understand that I love them,” – added Graham.
