Zahia Dehar isn’t your average, run-of-the-mill lingerie designer. In fact, she didn’t even begin her career in the fashion world; her name hit the spotlight when it was revealed she was a former underage prostitute. After claiming three French football stars had sex with her while younger than 18, her luck transformed. Not only did she launch own lingerie line with help from some of France’s greatest couturiers including François Tamarin, Bruno Legeron and Jean-Pierre Ollier, she’s been photographed modeling the collection by a range of talented artists. Karl Lagerfeld himself got behind the lens, saying it was fun to work with her, “like Vargas pinups.” The below collection was shot by Alix Malka for Vanity Fair - see the spread after the jump.

I stole my first pair of platforms from the Spice Bus in 1997 when Anglophilia was all the rage. Collector of vintage bags, vinyl and kitchen appliances. My dream of becoming a butcher is momentarily on hiatus so I can teach you how to wear muumuus and apply false eyelashes. Follow me on Twitter @CrystlMeatballs.
