BATH, England — Body-positive model Ashley Alexiss stars in a new collection of sexy images for Christmas for Lovehoney Lingerie’s new collection called Midnight.
Alexiss says the new collection was created to increase body confidence in women.
Designed in-house by former Marks & Spencer and La Perla designer Heather Mercer, Moonlight is described as affordable, high quality and sexy.
Modeled by Alexiss, a Boston-born advocate for body positivity and body confidence, the range comes in a variety of sizes to cater for all body types.
According to Lovehoney, Alexiss, 26, has become a modeling sensation over the past seven years with her inspirational slogan: “Beauty Is Not a Size.”
She has 1.2 million followers on Instagram, has graced the pages of fashion titles such as Elle and modeled for a number of big brands. Alexiss also has launched her own swimwear and clothing ranges aimed at curvier women.
According to Alexiss, "It's taken a long time. I was bullied terribly growing up for being thicker and am still made fun of to this day. But I realized that this is my body, my life and I'm not going to waste it by being miserable because I'm not society's definition of the perfect body. The important thing is that I'm my own definition, and that's enough for me."
Moonlight mixes elegance with sexy detailing and features wine-colored styles. Featuring stretch satin and scallop lace, the collection comprises of a plunge body, a basque set, a babydoll set and peekaboo bra set.
"Every single piece just made me feel so confident,” Alexiss said. “It was great to finally wear something that fit my curves and accentuated them to really make me feel my sexiest. Women will be able to look at themselves in the mirror and think 'Damn — I'm hot!'
"With Lovehoney Lingerie, there are different pieces for every body type, and different pieces to accentuate your favorite body part."
Alexiss said she loved working with Lovehoney Lingerie.
"Lovehoney is a fantastic brand and I enjoyed every single second of the shoot," she said. "I felt so confident on the day of the shoot and I KNOW you'll see that in the photos!"
Lovehoney Product Director Bonny Hall said, "We are delighted to have Ashley modeling our Christmas lingerie collection. We love her advocacy towards body confidence and body positivity, which we know our customers are passionate about too. She looks amazing in Moonlight and we hope our customers will feel as amazing as Ashley did when wearing the pieces."
