ASHLEY GRAHAM

Ashley Graham turned heads at New York Fashion Week as she proudly showed off her lingerie collection, alongside plus-size model, and friend of Kylie Jenner, Jordyn Woods.

The model, 27, who rose to mainstream attention after appearing on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, gathered together a collection of plus-size models to showcase her new bedwear collection.

Before the show, she told Canadian retailer Addition Elle, who are stocking the collection, what to expect from the range. "Sheer, creams, lace, bondage we’ve got dog collars for the freaks at home," she joked.

The model has spoken about body image and society and is never shy to give her opinion. “I felt free, once I realised I was never going to fit the narrow mold that society wanted me to fit in," Ms Graham said in a TED Talk about feeling confident in her body. "I was never going to be perfect enough for an industry that defines perfection from the outside in, and that’s okay.”
