Firstly, the magazine became popular for their photo-sessions with the most famous and wanted super models, and obviously they all have one thing in common: their perfect tanned and trained bodies, and they show them, of course in bikinis.
These photo-sessions should motivate women to get fit and do sport, but this isn't the case in real life.
Due to this, the world tried to change the image of a model, introducing the plus-size models. They had a really hard beginning but they continue working on it, and the photo that apperead in this magazine presents a mile stone for them.
The plus-size model Ashley Graham made it in the Sports Illustrated. She represented her body for the campaign "Curves in Bikinis" and she feels safe and sexy in her skin.
In my opinion, this was a really big and risky step from the magazine for publishing Ashley in a bikini, but I think that it comes a little bit late. Plus-size models are conquering the Media for a long time now, and I was really shocked as I saw that they didn't made it in the Sports Ilustrated until now.
To sum up, I hope that this was only the beginning for the models to appear in these kind of magazines, and not only size 0 women.
