Size 16 Ashley Graham is celebrating the launch of her lingerie range landing in the UK by posing in an array of racy images
Speaking about her latest offering, she said: ‘I am so proud of my lingerie line, it’s unapologetically sexy which, I hope will inspire women to embrace their bodies regardless of shape or size.
‘Everybody deserves to have access to fashion – your size shouldn’t rule what you wear so I am pleased that my collection will be available to buy at Simply Be which stocks a diverse range of sizes.’
The collection, which was inspired by her favourite flower, is adorned with lace and black crystals, which she says will create a sense of mystery and seduction.
The star recently revealed how she learned to love herself, saying she regularly strips off and isn’t afraid to flaunt her imperfections.
‘Walking around your house butt naked builds your confidence,’ she told Stylist magazine. ‘You have to see the things that you were told were imperfect your whole life. You actually see it and deal with it. Don’t hide it away.’

Her fearless attitude has lead her becoming a figurehead for strong, bold women and she has hundreds of thousands of social media followers
Size 16 Ashley made history after becoming the first curvaceous model to feature in the esteemed pages of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue. She is now one of the most in-demand women in the industry.
Outspoken Ashley recently received a standing ovation when she delivered an empowering TED talk titled ‘Plus Size? More Like My Size’ in Spain, discussing how learning to love and accept herself has helped her lead a happier life.
With hundreds of thousands of social media followers, the brunette beauty is making sure her inspiring messages are being heard far and wide.
As well as walking around in the buff and chanting to herself in the mirror, Ashley uses age-old methods of improving her well-being – exercise.
She said it’s ‘important for every type of body’ and she feels ‘weird’ if she doesn’t workout.
In order to not get bored with her fitness regime, voluptuous poser Ashley does a mix of ‘running, high intensity, boot camps’.

Ashley added that happiness is feeling ‘content’ but also ‘sometimes just a big bowl of pasta’.
Her fearless attitude has lead her becoming a figurehead for strong, bold women.
After being dropped from a modelling agency because of her size, she set up ALDA (meaning ‘wave’ in Icelandic) with five other runway stars, which helps promote a healthy body image.
On her new agency she added: ‘IMG Models signed all of us and we are not in a plus-size category, we are respected just as much as supermodels.’
Ashley travels around America meeting young women in schools to champion the importance of a positive body image.

She believes feeling ‘sexy is a state of mind’ and said she feels most flirtatious when wearing ‘a little crop top’ and working her 38D cleavage.
She said the question she gets asked the most is ‘how do you teach confidence?’
She recently told Elle UK: ‘I never truly know how to answer that question except from by showing I’m not afraid of my curves and my cellulite. You’re only able to attain that when it comes from you.’
Meanwhile, Ashley recently debuted her latest lingerie line for Canadian retailer Addition Elle in a historic show at New York Fashion Week walking alongside a cast of her fellow curvy models.
