The collection of plus size swimsuits sold out in 48 hours.[1] In February 2015, the plus size swimwear retailer launched its #CurvesInBikinis campaign, which quickly went viral and starred Ashley Graham as the first plus-size model featured in an ad in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.[2] Swimsuits For All announced its exclusive partnership with Ashley Graham in December 2015 to make her the face of the brand,[3] and in May 2016, the two launched their first joint swimwear collection, Ashley Graham x Swimsuits For All.[4] In April 2019, plus-size model Ashley Graham and comedian Sherri Shepherd joined Kelvin Davis for a swimsuit campaign.
