STORY: Ashley Graham flaunts her curves in stunning lingerie shoot
Ashley often talks body confidence, last year she posted a longer message about why she will not conform to the beauty standards expected of women. Addressing her legs, which she said someone had referred to as "cellulite city", the star stated: "Someone once told me my thighs were 'cellulite city'. But now I realise these thighs tell a story of victory and courage. I will not let others dictate what they think my body should look like for their own comfort, and neither should you. #beautybeyondsize #effyourbeautystandards." Famed for fronting several campaigns for plus-size clothing, it was recently announced that Ashley will be working on a lingerie collaboration with Canadian brand Addition Elle.
