On Saturday, plus size model Silvana Denker and a bunch of people all shapes and sizes to march the streets of Berlin to promote her new project BodyLove. Women wrote 'Body Love' over their bodies, wearing nothing but their underwear to prove to people that you can be beautiful any size. We are exposed to so many skinny sized models on social media and in the press, seeing something completely different should open up peoples minds - you don't have to be a size 6 to be beautiful. You don't have to have perfect skin, perfect hair, wear makeup to be socially accepted.
"Nobody's perfect and that's what makes us special. Love yourself"
In my post 'Fashion Hurts' I touch upon bigger sized models. I think it is so important to teach people that just because you are a size 12+, you're not unaccepted. I love how Silvana Denker has broken the barriers of the fashion world and allowed bigger sized models to become more accepted in the industry, even if it is frowned upon. Denker is hoping that this project will eventually go global, and I am excited to see if it does.
