Boohoo Posts Image Without Photoshopping Model’s “Imperfections” Out And The Internet Is Saying FINALLY

ADVERTISEMENT

If you have ever flipped through a magazine, watched a commercial, or passed an ad poster in the subway you might have felt a pang of envy. The envy that comes from seeing gorgeous photo models and celebrities with ultra-smooth skin and beautiful bodies. Well, Bored Panda is here to tell you not to fall into the unrealistic beauty standards’ wormhole that is the ad world.

Don’t feel too bad if you have been trapped by these advertising companies. They receive an enormous amount of help from their best friend, Photoshop, which eliminates acne, lines, and fat creating that perfect body image. Well, the fashion company Boohoo decided they would break from the old advertising model and are getting praised across the internet for their ad campaign choice. The brand posted pictures of models proudly baring showing their natural beauty, including stretch marks, with no photoshop tricks in sight. While they are not the first company to introduce a ‘real women’ style campaign targeting inclusivity, people enthusiastically shared their appreciation through re-posts and positive comments. Scroll down below to see the Boohoo models in all of their un-photoshopped glory!

A post by a Facebook user has gone viral, drawing attention to the brand Boohoo

Indeed - it's good to not be pushing these unrealistic (made by photoshop) versions of ourselves; for so many years we are fed the lie that women don't have stretch marks, don't have moles and freckles, cellulite, etc. And of course they are going to show gorgeous women (re: another commenter) - thats' how they sell their products to women and the men who buy for women.

We should just stop calling them "stretch marks" - this implies a fault/flaw. they are growth marks. I had these by age 16 from a sudden puberty spurt.They are mainly confined to us women either by weight gain/loss or pregnancy (creating new life) - we should wear them with pride

It's... from when your body 'stretches' during puberty. Yes, you can get them from weight gain, but the women in these photos don't look like they have much excess weight and they still have them - because they've been through puberty and gained height.

Now that their credibility is shot, some of these look like they have actually been enhanced to highlight the marks, unless we are supposed to believe that these very young girls all have perfect complexion, skin and makeup, yet all have these bright stretch marks all about the same place, and no flaws anywhere else....

I thought you couldn't actually be a model if you had stretch marks aka flaws?

When I was in Middle School I started throwing up all my meals. By the time I was in 10/11th grade I weighed "91lbs". I'm 5'6" and even with the weight loss I still had a DD chest. I was brought up during the "Super Model" time where everyone wanted to be them. I worked out relentlessly & even passed out a few times from dehydration. All I ate was peanuts and raisins or a bowl of lettuce. I am now paying for that. At 32 I've been diagnosed w/osteoporosis. Wouldn't it be amazing if people loved you for who you are and not what you look like.

Should we even care if the models are beautiful or flawed or both. Aren't we supposed to be noticing which booty romper we want to purchase? ;) The reality of it all is sad when I think about it though. Are we buying the product or the model? But YES! It's about time that all the photoshopping comes to an end. It really can distort women's, especially young girl's, minds. And I think it creates very unrealistic expectations for men as well; for themselves and for the women they seek. What in the heck is the point of drastically changing how one looks anyway? Hopefully more companies catch on!!! :)

This is nonsense, to be polite. To insinuate that a size zero 5’11” model with a perfect jawline, lips and breasts is “imperfect” for having stretch marks is total BS. These companies are liars and are SO uncomfortable at the idea of imperfection that they market “99.999999999% perfection” as imperfect and therefore we should all relate. If they were honest there would be other body types, other levels of facial attractiveness, other lip and eye shapes, other butt shapes, other flaws. Stretch marks on a perfect body are not “flaws.”

They are a company who want to sell their clothes. They are hardly going to chose a model who is ordinary looking and lumpy bummed. Get some reality yourself. It is all about the look. People are not going to buy clothes if they don't show them looking fabulous.

I really like this, as it's common for people to become very self-conscious of things that you don't see other people show, like stretch marks or birthmarks, but seeing that people who are considered beautiful also have these things allows one to see themselves as "normal" rather than ugly.

This is nonsense, to be polite. To insinuate that a size zero 5’11” model with a perfect jawline, lips and breasts is “imperfect” for having stretch marks is total BS. These companies are liars and are SO uncomfortable at the idea of imperfection that they market “99.999999999% perfection” as imperfect and therefore we should all relate. If they were honest there would be other body types, other levels of facial attractiveness, other lip and eye shapes, other butt shapes, other flaws. Stretch marks on a perfect body are not “flaws.”

They are a company who want to sell their clothes. They are hardly going to chose a model who is ordinary looking and lumpy bummed. Get some reality yourself. It is all about the look. People are not going to buy clothes if they don't show them looking fabulous.

I really like this, as it's common for people to become very self-conscious of things that you don't see other people show, like stretch marks or birthmarks, but seeing that people who are considered beautiful also have these things allows one to see themselves as "normal" rather than ugly.

Yeah, I feel sorry for these models. I'm sure those ugly stretch marks cramp their social life.

Not all stretch marks are the same. There isn't a certain way that stretch marks have to be. They're all real.

More women would be happier is magazines etc wouldn't be showing down their throats the idea that photoshop is better than being yourself.

Hopefully not. All these positive reactions from people make a great advertisement for them, I really hope that that will send a message to the management to keep doing this.
