The plus-size model has launched her first-ever lingerie line with retailer Addition Elle, called Modern Boudoir, and showed off the first shots of the sexy new collection on Instagram. In the ad, Graham seductively poses wearing an emerald-colored set with lace detailing, along with a black mesh coverup in a door frame at sunset.

Prior to launching her own line, Graham appeared in Lane Bryant’s #ImNoAngel campaign to help redefine society’s traditional vision of sexy (which many thought was an ad in response to Victoria’s Secret’s controversial “Perfect Body” ad series), alongside models Marquita Pring, Candice Huffine, Victoria Lee, Justine Legault and Elly Mayday.

It’s been a big year for Graham; in addition to her motivational (and viral) TED Talk, she also became the first plus-size model to ever appear in an ad in Sports Illustrated‘s annual Swimsuit Issue, flaunting her curves in a sexy black string bikini in the #CurvesForAll campaign for the online swimwear retailer Swimsuits For All.
“I know my curves are sexy, and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too,” Graham said in a statement. “There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt. The world is ready for more curves in bikinis.”
And though she once said she’d “absolutely” model for Victoria’s secret, she won’t need to now that she’s bringing her own sexy lingerie set to the masses. She may have wanted people to see her as a “curvaceous, sexy, gorgeous hunk of woman,” but we bet they’re now seeing her as a savvy entrepreneur as well.
