Body positive imagery of all kinds are emerging in the media -- even though some outlets are embracing it better than others -- and the latest one involves 56 year old model Nicola Griffin. The British beauty is captured in a range of sexy lingerie, something that not many people see on a regular basis -- especially when it comes to fashion magazines.
Yet SLiNK, the only plus-size fashion magazine available in print worldwide, has made it its mission to continuously break the mold. For their Passion Issue, they did so with the help of Nicola Griffin. She shares, "I think for me maybe it comes with age because when you get to 56 you don't know how long you have got left in the world and this is how you look so embrace it."
