Gabi Gregg Is Pushing Plus Swimwear Forward—Here's How

But while giving women size 10 to 26 greater choice of swimwear is one accomplishment, Gregg’s new campaign, entitled </span>“Power of Survival,” is also helping to set a new standard of how all women should be represented in fashion. She enlisted Philomena Kwao and Ericka Hart to star beside her in the campaign, shot in the jungle of Belize. “Of course they’re beautiful physically,” she said of her casting choice, “but we wanted to cast women who embraced that messaging [of survival].”

>Kwao you'll likely recognize as model also known in the fashion industry for being outspoken on issues of colorism and diversity. Meanwhile Hart is also an activist and breast cancer survivor whose topless images revealing her double mastectomy scars have become a bit of an internet sensation.

“I was honestly honored,” Hart says of Gregg asking her to join the SwimsuitsForAll shoot, “I read the initial email at least 20 times, cause I couldn't believe that little ol' me was being considered as a model.” </span>The resulting images from the Belize shoot—greatly inspired by Destiny Child's own iconic "Survivor" anthem—are stunning, powerful, and celebratory.

>We asked Gregg to share her own survivor mantra—something that can hopefully inspire us all to make changes that are far overdue and challenge the norm in 2018. Her advice? "Be so good they can’t ignore you." Looking at the images here, that seems spot-on to us.
