Follow on Google News | Plus-size Model Ashley Alexiss Makes History In Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway ShowBy: Alexiss Swimwear Measuring in at just five feet, three inches tall, Ashley Alexiss has defeated the odds by becoming the first "short" curvy model to be featured as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. Alexiss has been modeling professionally for ten years without the need of an agency or manager. Always told, "you're too short for runway," and, "you can't be short and fat and expected to model." Ashley shared a caption on social media to her 7 million followers, after walking the runway show, while reflecting on past criticism, "I'm doing this for me. I know I was meant for this. I can feel it deep in my bones." Just one of many candid, open conversations Ashley has with her supporters about her daily life, journey, and struggles. Utilizing her MBA degree, Ashley founded Alexiss Swimwear, a premium, USA made swimwear brand. Alexiss' primary focus in the modeling industry is to promote self-confidence and body positivity, as well as to spread awareness and be an activist for mental health. Her swimwear line provides its customers with a wide range of sizes (S-3XL bottoms & A-H cup tops) which shares her message that "Beauty is Not a Size ®." End
