Making a statement against lingerie brands like [Victoria's Secret](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victorias-secret-1), the #ImNoAngel campaign works to "redefine sexy" as an attitude and a look that comes in many shapes and sizes. Lane Bryant makes women's underwear in styles that range from casual and comfortable to [lacy and provocative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parade-that-lace)––pieces that would make any female feel fabulous.

The #ImNoAngel campaign comprises a series of photographs that gradually reveal themselves over the course of a month and a half. Each week, people are introduced to another beautiful plus-size model whose photographs are put on display on the website. A playful and foxy video accompanies the images of the voluptuous ladies, and girls from everywhere are invited to "share their sexy" too. The #ImNoAngel message has gone viral, thanks to its confident comment on body image, its community engagement, its attractive spokeswomen and the fact that it represents 65% of American ladies who are 'plus' at an average size of 14.
