Supermodel brings mom aboard for swimsuit campaign

Ashley Graham, champion for body positivity, and Linda Graham join forces in photo shoot

-

Ashley Graham has teamed up with her mother for a new Swimsuits for All campaign.

The 30-year-old plus-sized supermodel and champion for body positivity invited her mother, Linda Graham, to join her for the shoot and in new images, the mother-daughter duo pose in affordable Ashley Graham x Swimsuits for All Resort 2018 collection on a beach in Morocco.

“My mom has been my role model since childhood and has played a vital role in developing my confidence,” Ashley Graham said.

“She promoted body positivity in our household before it was a movement. Her feel-good attitude toward her own body has shaped my ability to remain positive and self-assured. I could not think of anyone better to join me in celebratin­g beauty of all shapes and sizes in this campaign. Plus, she’s hot and looks incredible in the suits!”

Linda Graham admits she was reluctant to make her Swimsuits for All debut at first, but her daughter convinced her to be part of the Power of the Journey campaign.

“I haven’t worn a bikini since the ’80s!” she said in a statement. “I don’t think I could have uncovered that inner strength without Ashley. That makes being a part of this campaign so much more special. She’s my rock and inspired me at age 53 to be proud of my body again after I lost my own fortitude.”

Each of the swimwear pieces, which are priced from US$102 to US$108 and available in sizes four to 22, can be purchased online at swimsuitsf­orall.com.
