Ashley Graham and Her Mom's Swimsuits For All Campaign Is So Heartwarming and Kickass

Ashley Graham continues to power the conversation around body positivity in fashion with her fifth Swimsuits For All collection, which dropped Feb. 5. This time though, Ashley had a special woman by her side in the campaign: her mother Linda Graham.


"My mom has been my role model since childhood and has played a vital role in developing my confidence," said Ashley Graham in a press release. "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!"

The two traveled to Morocco together to pose in vibrant swimsuits, and it looks like they had a blast. Not only were the images heartwarming, but Ashley and her mom looked completely at ease in their one-pieces and bikinis. Linda admitted she had not "worn a bikini since the '80s," but credits Ashley for helping her "uncover that inner strength" to rock the pieces. "She inspired me at age 53 to be proud of my body again after I lost my own fortitude," Linda said. 

With touching words like these, it's hard not to look at the campaign photos ahead and feel the strong bond between mother and daughter. Not only does the duo look kickass, but they completely owned the photo shoot. Read on to see the images, then shop from the 13-piece collection.
