Ashley Graham responds to critics of Vogue photo: 'I chose to pose like that'

Ashley Graham isn't one to back down from a discussion on body image — especially when she's being targeted.

The model appears on the cover of the latest Vogue issue, alongside stars including Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, but many fans took issue with Graham's hand placement in the cover photo. While her fellow models' arms were wrapped around each other's waists, Graham's hand rested on her thigh.
