Positive representation matters.
It’s a great feeling seeing people and characters who embodies us in every way. British online fashion and beauty store ASOS continues to demonstrate the importance of representation in media. In its latest 2018 swimwear, the site featured pictures of plus-size model Vivian Eyo-Ephraim looking breathtaking in a yellow bikini.
Fashionistas and fans immediately took to twitter to praise the brand for body diversity and representation.
See the reactions below:

Glad to see curve models are actually the sizes sold and not a size 12 wearing larger clothes. Thanks ASOS. https://t.co/OJbDkJG8LX
