Klappentext
It All Starts With You. If You Don’t Love You, Nobody Else Is Going To Be Able To.
When Ashley Graham became the first size 14 model to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine, she broke a barrier many thought impenetrable. That’s what this supermodel does—she tears down walls that have always existed around curvy women in fashion, showing the world that when it comes to beauty, size is just a number. Today, she is a voice for all who don’t fit the old standards of the feminine ideal and is a change-maker in an industry that is often out of step with a majority of real women.
In A New Model, Ashley shares the story of her life and career, and her decision to break out of the shadows and fight against those “who feel entitled to weigh in with their opinions on other people’s bodies”—including those who told her she’d never grace a magazine cover. Ashley reveals her struggles and how she has been supported by her family; how her husband, Justin, came into her life at a time when she was closed off to love; how she has coped with her food issues; how the fashion industry doesn’t understand the curvy body; and how faith in a higher power helped her find her center and achieve more than she ever dreamed.
A New Model is an honest, inspirational, and surprisingly relatable story of a supermodel, yes, but also of an ordinary person who, like so many, has struggled with rejection, self-confidence, and self-image—and who wants to help every woman be her strongest, most confident, and most beautiful self.
