‘PLUS-SIZE’ model and all-round glamour Ashley Graham can add another history-making feat to her resume.
In this year alone Graham has graced the covers of Maxim and Sports Illustrated, but now the 28-year-old old can add a Vogue cover to her resume.
British Vogue will feature the brunette, who they call “the model with attitude”, in its January 2017 issue.
Graham’s profile has risen considerably this year. She told Vogue’s Christa D’Souza she defied expectations to be where she is today.
“For 10 years I’d been told I was always going to be a catalogue girl, never a cover girl,” she said .
“Well, I got with IMG Models and did five covers in a year, boom, boom, boom. See, if you have a pretty face doors will open, but your job isn’t just to walk through them, it’s to get invited back.”
The body-positive model was shocked when she landed the Sports Illustrated cover, fo the magazine’s swimsuit edition back in February.
“I’m insanely speechless. I cannot comprehend how I feel right now. This will go down in the books forever. It is a historic moment,” she said.
The model’s cover isn’t the first time her and Vogue have done business together. Graham was previously featured in the pages of Miss Vogue back in 2014.
