Save the boobs. Save the planet. Australian model Annalise Braakensiek is launching a range of "eco" lingerie for larger-busted women.
"It's green. No toxic ink, organic cotton, organic bamboo, sustainable produce, the swingtags are recycled cardboard and even attached with organic twine.
"As eco-friendly as I can possibly make it. Looking after girls with bigger boobs and looking after the environment at the same time," she says.
Called Annalise Exclusive for Bras 'n Things, the bras will be launched in August and specialise in C-F cups.
"It's been a dream of mine since I started modelling and a lot of my modelling was in Italy with beautiful brands like La Perla. So I was wearing these beautiful garments but they only go up to a maximum D cup and I'm an E cup. It was so frustrating," she says.
Other designers are following the trend, with Elle Macpherson also producing larger cup sizes. So no more back-off beige for busty babes.
"It's something that's been needed for so long. I started working on this three years ago. There were no fashionable large sizes. I think it's great now women of all sizes can get lingerie that suits their personality."
Braakensiek was far from nervous about stripping off for the shoot. "Oh, darling, this is what I do. I've been getting my kit off for years," she laughs.
