💪💯 @itopmodels: "The future of fashion: models of all shapes, sizes, heights, ages, races, and abilities. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ We often have discussions about how we need to see more "real women" in fashion, media, and advertising. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ But what exactly is a "real woman?" ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ A real woman is any living, breathing human who identifies as a woman. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Real women are tall, short — and everything in between. Real women are slender, curvy, and plus-size — and everything in between. Real women are all different races and ethnicities. Real women are assigned female at birth and transgender. Real women have different abilities and disabilities. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ When we talk about wanting to see "real women" reflected back to us and when we say we want clothing available for real women of all sizes, we're simply asking for more variety. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Because the 5'10", 120-pound, size 0 model? She's most certainly real too. She's just not the only kind of real. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ We look at catwalk shows, advertising and the glossies and rarely see a true representation of real people. That's why #iTopModel advocates for more diversity in models, and demands that the fashion and marketing industries recognise the beauty in people of all races, ages, shapes, sizes and abilities. Our mission is to change #TheFaceofFashion and #modeling by sponsoring modeling workshops for people with disabilities, campaigning against the tragic effects of the size zero culture, and fighting inequality in the representation of real women." #BeyondBeautyStandards #beautyredefined #globalnetwork #angelplus
