Macy’s at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa welcomed model and designer Ashley Graham to the department store’s intimates section Thursday, giving customers a glimpse of her Holiday Collection lingerie.

Graham, 30, is a plus-size model who is becoming increasingly visible in the mainstream for her magazine covers and advocacy of body-image acceptance.

Her lingerie pieces include bras, panties, corsets and more for plus-size figures.

Customers had the chance to get front-of-the-line access with an Ashley Graham lingerie purchase to meet and take a photo with her.
