“Evocative.”  — The Cut

One of the most outspoken voices gracing the cover of magazines today encourages women to be their most confident selves, recognize their personal beauty, and reach for their highest dreams in this wise, warm, and inspiring memoir.

Voluptuous beauty Ashley Graham has been modeling professionally since the age of thirteen. Discovered at a shopping mall in Nebraska, her stunning face and sexy curves have graced the covers of top magazines, including Cosmopolitan and British Vogue, and she was the first size 14 model to appear on the front of the wildly popular Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. The face of brands such as H&M Studio, she is also a judge for the latest season of America’s Next Top Model. And that’s only the beginning for this extraordinary talent.

Ashley is leading a new generation of women breaking ground and demolishing stereotypes, transforming our ideals about body image and what is fashionable and beautiful. A woman who proves that when it comes to beauty, size is just a number, she is the voice for the body positivity movement today and a role model for all women—no matter their individual body type, shape, or weight.

In this collection of insightful, provocative essays illustrated with a dozen photos, Ashley shares her perspective on how ideas around body image are evolving—and how we still have work to do; the fun—and stress—of a career in the fashion world; her life before modeling; and her path to accepting her size without limiting her dreams—defying rigid industry standards and naysayers who told her it couldn’t be done. As she talks about her successes and setbacks, Ashley offers support for every woman coming to terms with who she is, bolster her self-confidence, and motivates her to be her strongest, healthiest, and most beautiful self.

“Positive, understanding, and uplifting.” — Booklist

“Evocative.” — The Cut

From the Back Cover

Beauty Beyond Stereotypes

Beauty Beyond Limitations

Beauty Beyond Size

When Ashley Graham became the first size 14 model to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine, she broke a barrier many thought impenetrable. That’s what supermodel Ashley Graham does—she tears down the walls that have always existed around curvy women in fashion, showing the world that when it comes to beauty, size is just a number. In the process, she has become a voice for all who don’t fit the old standards of the feminine ideal and a leader in an industry that felt out of step with a majority of real women.

In A New Model, Ashley shares the story of her life and career: from the mall in Nebraska where she was discovered, to her move to New York City as a naïve teenager, to her years as a strictly catalog model whom her agents relied on for revenue but never sent out for runway jobs, and to her decision to break out of the shadows and fight against those who told her she’d never grace a magazine cover. Learn how Ashley has struggled with and been supported by her family; how her husband, Justin, came into her life at a time when she was closed off to love; how she has coped with her issues around food; how the fashion industry lacks understanding of the curvy body; and how faith in a higher power helped her find her center again. This is an honest, inspirational, and surprisingly relatable story of a supermodel, yes—but also of a woman who, like so many, has struggled with rejection, self-confidence, and self-image. Ashley is not afraid to show her real self to the world, on social media, in interviews, and now in the pages of A New Model. Through her actions and by telling her story, Ashley hopes to help every woman be her strongest, most confident, and most beautiful self.

I pre-ordered this book back in February and received it today. I read it in it's entirety in one sitting. There is nothing more refreshing than reading about someone's journey when it is so genuine. Raw, including the successes but not leaving out the non-glamourous parts along the way. There is nothing sexier than a confident woman regardless of the vessel you've got to work with. Women empowering other women to be there very best no matter what.

I really loved this book. I was interested in reading it before it came out. I read some reviews shortly after it came out and the one review who mentioned it being like a diary and gave it a poor review made me think maybe I shouldn't buy it. But then I read a short two page article in last months glamour magazine that I loved, I related to it and was interested. It was about a woman and her take on love and talking about her relationship. I then looked and realized it wasa snippet from this book. I had to get it and I ordered it that day. I started reading it soon after it arrived and I couldn't stop. I read the entire thing in two days. It is in some ways a little like a diary but it's her talking about what she felt, what she was thinking and it is so relatable. I love her and loved the stories. I loved that she went through and goes through all the same things all of us do. It was really great read. I was sad it was over and I want her to write a second book in the next couple years to follow this one.

Inspiring and transparent. Great read!!! I heard her interview on NPR then Goodmorning America and realized that i had to get this book. I would have finished it in one sitting if i didnr have other stuff to do. Her story is genuine and above all brutally honest. As someone who grew up with womanly feature at a young age, Its refreshing to see a world famous plus model have similarities in dealing with her body.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ashley Graham is the real deal :)

I don't hesitate at all to give Ashely Graham's book 5 stars. Her message of body-positivity is genuine and her confidence is contagious. I can honestly say that she has changed the way I see myself in the mirror. She has also inspired me to look for some new clothes that I feel really good in.

As far as the content of the book, Ashley tells stories about her upbringing in Nebraska (Hi, Ashley's mom--you sound awesome!) and how she got into modeling. Then, she tells her "coming of age" story about being a young model alone in NYC and leads us to when she met her now husband (Hi Ashely's husband--you sound highly emotionally intelligent--if you ever write a book about relationships/communicating, I'd like to read it!). Then, she lifts the curtain on what it is like to work as a model. Her stories about advocating for herself/her fellow models within her industry are inspiring.

I'd say, if you're looking for a radical outlook on body positivity, this is not it. Rather, it's one woman's perspective and story about how she has come to embrace her size and truly mean it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Welcome Voice for Body Positivity
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2018
Verified Purchase
I like Ashley Graham as a body positive role model. I think she's fun, beautiful outspoken, and gorgeous. She gives women outside the traditional beauty norms a voice.

I truly enjoyed A New Model. Graham didn't paint a fairy tale version of her life and career. I identified with her in a lot of ways, especially as someone who also matured early and didn't know what to do with the power and pain of a twelve-year old with a women's body. It was a hard reality, and I'm so glad girls now are growing up in a new reality Graham is helping to shape.

A New Model was an easy book to read. Graham has a welcoming, friendly voice. I was sometimes confused by the non-linear narrative, but enjoyed it all the same.

As soon as I heard Ashley's book was out I purchased a copy from amazon! Really like Ashley, she's from my home town. On Sunday I saw Ashley & Justin in Lincoln at a restaurant. I was no more than 10 feet from them. I read her book 2x in one week. I have other things to do in life, but the book is great and hard to put down. Im glad she's a body diversity advocate!

“No matter how beautiful—or not—one is perceived to be, the true beauty we all possess is found on the inside. That should be our focus and the measure by which we are judged. How do we move through life? What other lives have we touched? Who have we confronted with love? How have we changed the world for the better? Those are all qualities that can’t be counted or weighed. Really, beauty beyond size.”

We need more books in the world like this. What an inspiration for so many people who’ve been told their entire lives what is beautiful and that they are not it. So thankful that Ashley kept pressing on despite discouragement and for honestly telling her story.

Beauty doesn’t last but the person you are becoming does.

I love this book and the fresh eye that it offers into a world where so much emphasis is put on a woman to have "the perfect body"- This woman went through and created a book that is written for the woman of all ages that is coming to terms with her body and how to use it to conquer the world as a tool; how it is never a hindrance no matter what it looks like- great book and I would recommend to anyone!

Siempre me había dado mucha curiosidad al respecto de la vida de Ashley ya qué me parece una mujer poderosa , influyente y muy fresca considerando la industria en la cuál le toca hacerse lugar.

Este libro la muestra en una forma súper real y aterrizada a situaciones difíciles de su vida, así cómo situaciones del mundo laboral a las cuales muchas mujeres jóvenes nos vemos enfrentadas y a veces atemorizadas y no sabemos como reaccionar . Excelentes consejos de manera sutil pero al mismo tiempo sensible. ¡Muy recomendable!
