Ashley Graham has long been an advocate for size inclusivity on the runway, pushing designers to do better and cast more plus-size (or curvy, as Graham prefers to be called) models in their shows. And though the fall 2017 shows saw a record 27 plus-size model appearances in New York alone — up from 16 the previous season and a mere six the one before — Ashley says there's still lots of progress to be made.
In an interview with Yahoo Beauty, Graham — who has her own lingerie brand, the Ashley Graham Collection — thinks this year's collections left a lot to be desired when it came to addressing curvy women. "It's sad," she says. "It's funny to me, because I'll look at runways and think, 'I'd look so great in those clothes' or 'I know curvy women who would look so great in those clothes.'"

And she even called out a few names in particular: "I was at Fenty, and that was an amazing show. But how dope would it have been to see some curves on the runway? I think Baja East would be really cool to have curves on the runway. Philipp Plein would be really cool." Rihanna has proved her devotion to providing every woman with beauty options — stores cannot keep the deepest shades of Fenty Beauty in stock just days after the collection dropped — but Ashley does have a point. Designers should strive to celebrate as many different looks and body types as possible, with plus-size models included not as tokens but as a matter of course.
