Celebrating curves! Body-positive models slay in bikinis

Last updated on: September 19, 2018 16:24 IST

Rihanna, who showcased her latest collection at NYFW, invited women of all colours, sizes and shapes to walk the runway. 

The idea was to 'celebrate their form rather than objectify their sexuality'.
