Not long after word got out that Sports Illustrated will feature a plus-size model in their 2015 swimsuit issue (feb 9th), more exciting news came, they will also be featuring plus-size models in their editorial pages.

It was announced yesterday that size 12 Robyn Lawley will be a Sports Illustrated 2015 Rookie, along with five other models.

What do you think of this change in the modelling industry?
