The stunning 27-year-old American, who is not shy about flaunting her curves on the runway, told Glamour that she wants to use her body shape to inspire other women.

"I'm using my body to let other women know that imperfections are okay," she said.

"That cellulite, rolls, curves, all of it, things that jiggle that shouldn't be jiggling, it's okay."

Graham, who has been modeling for 15 years, recently lashed out at designers who failed to employ curvier women to walk the runway, claiming they're usually in too much of a 'hurry' to get their collections out to make bigger-sized clothes.

"I understand why designers don't put curves on the runway necessarily - I think it's because they're making size zero and size two clothes, they're doing it quick it's like hurry up and get the collection out."

Graham has been one of the most talked about models of 2015 thanks to her spot in this year's Sports Illustrated Swim edition.

She is the first plus-size model to appear in the magazine, which has been heralded as a huge step for curvier models in the fashion world.
