Yaaaas girl *nails emoji*
When it comes to all things representation, airbrushing, and recognising that there’s more than one body type, online fashion retailers have been playing a blinder.
ASOS and Missguided have very much been leading the charge when it comes to portraying real women with real bodies and real clothes.
And it’s a blessing to be honest because as we all know, not everybody can fit into size 6 clothing.
As summer though approaches we can probably expect to see a tonne of online retailers selling stunning bikinis using slim models.
Because that’s how swimwear is traditionally sold, right?
Well, not so much on ASOS anymore because they’ve got a plus-size model wearing a fab bikini on site and everybody is absolutely living for her.
Absolutely slaying it, like.
And the bikini is cute AF too.
The model’s name is Vivian Eyo-Ephraim and she’s a model, actor, and sometimes television extra.
She’s also the winner of the 2017 Global Curve Model search so fair play to her.
Understandably, people were only weak for Vivian’s ASOS swimwear stint so they took to Twitter to talk about it.
YESSSSSSS CMON @ASOS 😍👌🏾💛 pic.twitter.com/3FvPyJ3uU2

Ive never , ever seen an ad like this before. I’ve never worn a bikini before because of my body type. This makes me think about trying it. Pretty cool.
