Plus-size blogger Gabi Gregg has unveiled her second swimwear collection, proudly modelling one of her signature “fatkinis”.

The new range – which comes in sizes 10 to 24 – is inspired by the 1950s and looks likely to be as popular as Gabi’s first collection for Swimsuits For All, which sold out in less than 48 hours last year.

“I think swimsuit shopping can be horrendous if you’re going to stores that don’t offer your size, but finding a stylish option that fits you well can actually make you feel great,” Gabi said.

Gabi, 26, shot to internet fame last year when she published a gallery of curvy women wearing swimsuits entitled “Fatkini” on her blog GabiFresh. The photo collection quickly went viral and she designed her first swimwear line shortly afterwards.

Plus-size blogger Gabi Gregg has unveiled a new range of “fatkinis” for a plus-size swimwear retailer.

Gabi’s first collection for Swimsuits For All sold out in less than 24 hours last May.

Gabi wants all women to feel good in a cossie.

The collection, which goes on sale later this month, is retro-inspired.

“I’m super passionate about plus-size women wearing great swimsuits unapologetically,” Gabi says.

The range comes in sizes 10 to 24.
