This summer, Ashley Graham is getting ready to release a new lingerie for plus-sized women, taking heavy inspiration from the hit “Fifty Shades of Grey”, and creating an overall style that had already managed to captivate the eyes and hearts of fashion critics. Everything in the set – which includes kimonos – will be sold at a sub-$100 price, and the starting size will be 12, according to initial reports.
Graham himself is a size 16, and she’s been quite prominent in the media portraying plus-sized women in a positive light, gathering a lot of support for them and helping society build a better attitude towards them. She has been designing her own lingerie for about two years now, starting in 2013, and she is currently aiming at the US market for this launch as she feels it could definitely use some extra products in this area.
Graham explained that she has no problem finding sexy bras or supportive bras, but combinations of the two were missing as a whole, leading to much disappointment on her side. This inspired her to look into ways to introduce plus-sized lingerie to this market in a way that everyone would be interested, and so far she seems to be enjoying a lot of success.
In August, her new collection will launch in Nordstrom, so interested buyers can get it at the store or directly online. Of course, when shopping for lingerie like that, it’s always best to familiarize oneself with the return policy of the store, as differences in sizes can quickly spell disaster. In addition, it’s always better to get a feeling for how well the product fits in reality before buying it. Online shopping for clothes is becoming more and more advanced and full-featured, on the other hand, so it’s also a viable option.
Ashley Graham’s activism in support of plus-sized women goes beyond her work as a designer, as she is also a member of ALDA, a collective focused on plus-sized women of prominent social standing, promoting a positive social image for women in their shoes and helping society see them in a better light.
Other members of the collective include Marquita Pring, Julie Henderson, Inga Eriksdottir and Danielle Redman, and their group has seen some recognition since its inception. It’s good to see that its members also do a lot of work individually, and Ashley Graham herself is a shining example in this regard. Her current collection has been enjoying some great positive reviews, so hopefully she will continue her work.
