On Monday, the 28-year-old model,lingerie designer/superstar twerkerand sexy star of DNCE’s new “Toothbrush” music video drops her first swimwear collection ever in collaboration withswimsuitsforall.com.

Therefore, to encourage maximum badassery, she named each piece with the secret agent in mind, such as theLiaison stringy one-piece…
TheSecret Agent Siren one-piece…
TheDouble-Cross black bikini…
TheHeist silver-studded black V-neck bikini…
And theEspionage Twilight string bikini. “No girl that I know that’s my size has ever been able to find the perfect string bikini,” she says. “So I made it for you.”
One of her other top picks is theStakeout neoprene one-piece. “This is really, truly like James Bond,” she says. “Everything zippers up and down the front she goes all the down so you can give as much as you want. And on the inside it’s all about support—there is a bra, hook, everything because these girls [gesturing to her bust] are not as high as they were when I was 15 so we had to make sure there was support in there.”
The standout, however, is theIntrigue two-piece, which features 521 shimmering Swarovski crystals crafted into body jewelry for the top and bottom. “This is one that you’re wearing to show off,” she says. “It’s sexual.” It’s also the most expensive piece in the collection, priced at $398.
Ultimately, she wants women to feel good about their beach bodies. “The collection makes me want to show off #MySwimBody and I know it will make ladies feel sexy in their swimsuits throughout the summer,” she says. “No matter what you end up wearing this summer don’t forget to rock your swimsuit with confidence. The secret to feeling sexy in a swimsuit is put a swimsuit on and tell yourself ‘I’m sexy.’”
Graham is also the face ofswimsuitforall’s #MySwimBody campaign, which launched earlier this month.
