The environmental scientist turned model designed the line in collaboration with US brand Swimsuits For All's trend range, SwimSexy.

The collection is inspired by the ocean, with coral reef scenes featuring throughout.

The line includes one and two-piece suits, with zippers, criss-cross straps, plunging V-necklines and high-waisted bottoms.

The swimsuits cater for every shape, with sizes ranging from 10 through to 24.

Cut well: The swimwear features plunging v-necks, criss-cross straps and flattering cuts for all shapes

Wells revealed that the idea for the collaboration came about through a conversation she had with the brand while she was working with them on a photoshoot.

'I can’t think of anyone else making eco-friendly, fashion-forward suits for curvy girls,' Laura told US website Refinery 29.

Laura smoulders in the campaign shots for the collection, lounging on a hammock in a clear blue ocean wearing the coral reef one-piece, which she said was her favourite from the collaboration.
