Plus size model Ashley Graham bares all in revealing photoshoot

Ashley Graham is fearless when is comes to showing off her body.

The model posed nude for the new issue of V Magazine, wearing only a netted top sheer enough for viewers to glimpse everything underneath

The 29-year-old chatted about her cellulite to Tracee Ellis Ross in the summer issue, recalling how her mother "made it a non-issue" when Ashley was a child. "It doesn’t define my worth. If women like you and me continue to preach that, then I feel like younger girls are going to grasp it and they’re going to be like: 'Who cares!'"

Ashley told the Emmy-nominated actress: "I remember my first signs of cellulite, in middle school. I remember telling my mom: 'Isn’t it disgusting? It’s so ugly.'"

Ashley's mother then "pulled her pants down and said, 'Look, I have it, too.' And I was like, 'Gasp!' She looked at me, then at it, and just rolled her eyes."

The prolific cover girl, who's posed for Mario Sorrenti in this new V issue, recalled that her mother "didn’t tell me that it’s beautiful or ugly. She just made it a non-issue."

Earlier, Ashley had recalled that being told: "You’re fat," "You’re ugly" or "You’re just not good enough," and trying to live in these model standards, that was my normal."

Confiding that "I think I hit bottom around 18," she remembered a point at which 'I was disgusted with myself and told my mum I was coming home."

Yet her mother "told me: 'No, you’re not, because you told me that this was what you wanted and I know you’re supposed to do this. It doesn’t matter what you think about your body, because your body is supposed to change somebody’s life.'"

Ashley, who's also posed for the magazine face down in a set of partially pulled off lingerie, told Tracee of her mother's advice that "To this day that sticks with me because I’m here today and I feel that it’s okay to have cellulite."
