Underwear campaigns don’t come much more inspiring than the latest offering from UK-based lingerie brand, Panache. Last year the company started searching for models to front its autumn/winter 2016 campaign. But rather than hiring typical industry models to show off their new collection of fancy pants, Panache set about choosing women based on their accomplishments, not just their bodies.

Seven thousand nominees and 12 months later, Panache revealed its new “Modelled By Role Models” campaign with the six finalists that the public voted for. And not only are the women completely rocking it in their undies, they deserve maximum respect for the work that they do, the achievements they’ve made and their healthy approach to body image.
