"I was born for this and I want to show the world that I have everything a model needs to shine," she told followers at the time.
"Love Cloud Collection is a major moment in the brand's evolution," Raúl Martinez, Victoria Secret's chief creative director, said in a statement.
"From the cast of incredible women that bring the collection to life, to the incredible inclusive spirit on set, this campaign is an important part of the new Victoria's Secret standard we are creating."
The campaign features 17 women from all walks of life
The brand has faltered in recent years after the cancellation of the high-profile bi-annual catwalk shows and a public backlash that saw TV star Jameela Jamil brand the company a "transphobic, fat phobic company that sets out to exclude most women".
Hayley Bieber and Taylor Hill are two of the professional models involved in the new campaign but it also features Celilo Miles, a Nez Perce Tribe-Wildland firefighter and transgender star Valentina Sampaio.
