Gabi Gregg is a LA-based brand consultant, designer and blogger who started her site GabiFresh.com in 2008 after noticing the lack of fashion resources for plus size young women. One of the first blogs of its kind, GabiFresh mixes style advice, outfits, and body positivity while rejecting outdated fashion rules. Gabi revolutionized the market when she popularized plus size bikinis, designing her debut collection for SwimsuitsForAll in 2013. She has contributed to Vogue.it, Refinery29, xoJane, and Rookie Mag, and was the first plus size contributing editor at InStyle Magazine in 2012. Follow Gabi on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
