Fashion Icons with Fern Mallis: Ashley Graham

Dec 7, 2022


Please submit questions for the speakers in the Livestream chat starting on December 7 at approximately 7:30 pm ET.

Supermodel, designer, and entrepreneur Ashley Graham’s influence has reshaped the Fashion and Media industries.

Ashley made history as the first size 14 model to ever be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swim, and she was named a brand ambassador for Revlon, making her the first curvy model of her generation to receive a major beauty contract. Ashley has become a fixture on the covers of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, New York Magazine, and one of the most sought after supermodels on every major runway.

For her impact on Fashion, Fern asked Ashley to author the foreword of her new book Fashion Icons 2: Fashion Lives with Fern Mallis published by Rizzoli and sponsored by Nordstrom. “We share the belief that beauty is NOT one-size-fits-all. Ashley is proof that Fashion can embrace and celebrate people of all different backgrounds, perspectives, and body types,” said Mallis.
