Plus Size Model Hunter McGrady Launching New Clothing Line with QVC – Up to Size 5X!
The Sports Illustrated alum announced via Instagram on Monday (3/30) that her new collection drops April 22.
New decade, new fashion.
While most of us are on home lockdown due to the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, plus size model Hunter McGrady delivered some good news to fashionistas via her Instagram feed, that is guaranteed to give us something to look forward to.
The plus supermodel shared that she will be launching her own clothing line with QVC called All Worthy.
What makes this clothing line a standout is that it will be available in sizes 0 to 36, XXS to 5X. During a time where many brands are calling themselves size inclusive but stopping at a size 3X and 24, this is definitely a game changer.
Also, the fact that McGrady is launching this line with QVC, while other online shopping channels only offer up to size 3X, makes this a major move for plus size fashion, in terms of more fashion for larger sizes AND accessibility.
QVC sets itself apart from the others by not only offering above a size 3X but proudly promoting it on their site. They offer up to size 5X in brands such as Denim & Co and Susan Graver, while keeping prices consistent across all sizes.
The new line will be available for purchase online starting April 22 on QVC’s website.
We previously wrote about the importance of thinner allies in the plus size industry because they can access spaces that larger bodies can’t, making powerful moves for all of us. You can read that piece here.
This new partnership is proof of that importance as McGrady has always been an advocate for size diversity and the name of her collection speaks to her belief that we are all worthy of fashion.
Change continues to be underway in the plus size industry and we’re so here for it.
You can sign up for emails here to be notified when the All Worthy line drops. Stay tuned to the blog for more details as the launch date grows closer.

SwimStar All Stars Partnership With Renowned Plus-size Model and Swimsuits For All Ambassador, Denise Bidot
Inclusive Swimwear Brand Collaborates with Prominent Plus-Size Model Denise Bidot to Empower Aspiring Models…
Swimsuits For All, a pioneer in inclusive swimwear, proudly introduces its inaugural SwimStar All Stars campaign in partnership with renowned plus-size model and Swimsuits For All ambassador, Denise Bidot. This collaboration marks a significant milestone, nearly a decade following Denise’s groundbreaking “Beach Body, Not Sorry” campaign with Swimsuits For All in 2015, which showcased unretouched imagery aimed at promoting unapologetic confidence.
Denise Bidot and Swimsuits For All have jointly unveiled the SwimStar All Stars nationwide search, dedicated to discovering emerging talent in the realm of swimsuit modeling. Encouraging aspiring models to share their personal narratives, the initiative aims to inspire women of all backgrounds, shapes, and sizes. Following a rigorous selection process, Brittany Wilborn, Camryn Henry, and Sharon Clawson emerged as the chosen winners. In January 2024, these models embarked on a transformative journey to Harbour Island, where they had the unparalleled opportunity to shoot alongside Denise under the expert direction of internationally acclaimed photographer and director, Ben Watts.
Reflecting on the initiative, Denise Bidot remarked, “This was a truly exceptional opportunity to celebrate the diversity of plus-size models and cultivate an atmosphere of support, empowerment, and knowledge sharing. The camaraderie on set was palpable, and I am deeply honored to impart the wisdom and insights I’ve garnered throughout my career. Opportunities like these are scarce for plus-size models in the industry, and it has been a privilege to collaborate with the exceptional team at Swimsuits for All to bring this campaign to fruition.”
The models showcased the latest swimwear offerings from the Swimsuits for All 2024 collection, featuring innovative designs tailored to meet the diverse needs of women, including:
Feel-good Fits: Addressing common concerns such as tummy bulges and fit issues, Swimsuits for All offers a range of fits designed to instill confidence and comfort in every body. Incorporating features like Power Mesh for a smooth, flattering silhouette, and adjustable straps for customizable support, the collection caters to various body types.
Bold Prints & Colors for Summer: The summer swimwear collection boasts vibrant colors and captivating prints, injecting excitement and personality into beach and poolside attire. From vivid neon hues to tropical motifs, the collection encourages self-expression and style experimentation.
Liquid Shine: Introducing Liquid Shine, a striking swim fabrication characterized by a glossy, liquid-like finish, adding an edgy allure to beachwear. Available in multiple silhouettes, including bikinis, Liquid Shine ensures you stand out with confidence.
Bikinis that Suit You Best: The Mix & Match Bikini collection offers a personalized approach to swimwear, allowing individuals to mix and match colors and silhouettes for a bespoke look tailored to their preferences.
Beyond showcasing inclusive swimwear designs, the SwimStar All Stars campaign embodies a celebration of women uplifting one another in an industry often marked by competitiveness. Throughout the week-long shoot, models engaged in one-on-one sessions with Denise, fostering meaningful dialogue about the evolving representation of plus-size bodies in swim and fashion.
Jordan Hauser, Senior Director of E-Commerce & Marketing, expressed, “This campaign transcends conventional notions of body positivity and representation in the swim and fashion industries. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and authenticity in reflecting the diverse experiences of our customer base. We are committed to fostering a movement where women find strength in unity, and we are thrilled to embark on this journey alongside Denise Bidot, one of the industry’s foremost advocates for inclusivity.”
The summer 2024 swimwear collection is now available. For further details about Swimsuits For All and the SwimStar All Stars campaign, please visit www.swimsuitsforall.com.
