In 2012 Ferrario shaved her hair off to raise money and awareness for cancer, alopecia and trichotillomania.

In February 2015, Ferrario started a campaign with television presenter Ajay Rochester to end the use of the term “plus size” to describe models who are above a US dress size 4 by the modelling industry. Ferrario posted a picture with the caption “I am a model FULL STOP” with the hashtag “#droptheplus” which gained coverage in the media and was heavily discussed, with mixed, but mostly positive reactions, on social media and within the fashion industry.

Ferrario is a vegan and describes herself as an “animal-activist”, telling another animal activist she had been vegan since 1 January 2020 and that she wishes she had done it sooner. Later that year, she tweeted “If you’re against animal cruelty why are you paying for it on a daily basis? Go vegan!” She has a highlights section on her Instagram for all posts about vegan food and discussion and created a YouTube video showing the food she would eat on a normal day and the vegan food she bought that day.
Ferrario has pierced nipples and a rabbit called Bambi.

I am a model FULL STOP. Unfortunately in the modelling industry if you’re above a US size 4 you are considered plus size, and so I’m often labelled a ‘plus size’ model. I do NOT find this empowering. A couple of days ago, @ajayrochester called the industry to task for its use of the term ‘plus size’ by making the point that it is ‘harmful’ to call a model ‘plus’ and damaging for the minds of young girls. I fully support Ajay and agree with her. Let’s have models of ALL shapes, sizes and ethnicities, and drop the misleading labels. I’m NOT proud to be called ‘plus’, but I AM proud to be called a ‘model’, that is my profession! Visit droptheplus.org for full explanation of the dangers this label carries (especially on young impressionable girls).
