Anine ling's new ad campaign is just smashing. It features nine women posing in their 'natural environment' with captions about their backgrounds. The campaign, which is Photoshop-free, features women ages 10 to 64, including three generations from one family -- Julie and daighter-in-law Ashleigh Dempsey -- featured above with baby daughter Vincent.. 

Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are big fans of Anine Bing's delicate lace bralets and sheer intimates, but they don't front this new campaign called #AnineBingStories. 

'The campaign is about loving yourself, celebrating yourself, being yourself, and wearing what you want to wear for yourself!' Anine wrote on her blog, where we learn much more about the women featured here. I will pull out more of this info and feature them in our Women's News channel

'We worked with nine amazing women with individual stories who are entrepreneurs, cancer survivors, philanthropists, mothers, and such inspiring people.' 

Peter Lindbergh: Photoshop and Selfies Are For Losers

'Peter Lindbergh: From Fashion to Reality' opens at the Kunsthalle Munich on April 13, and will be on view until August 27, 2017. The iconic is also one subject of the exhibition “Woman on Street,” along with Garry Winogrand, at the NRW Forum in Dusseldorf, on view until April 30, 2017.

"I think Selfies are actually the most stupid thing ever," Lindbergh said on Tuesday in Munich before the opening of the exhibition "Peter Lindbergh: From Fashion To Reality" in the Kunsthalle. For example, if you want to make a Selfie with a star, you need to clarify what that means about your self-esteem: "This means that you look at yourself as smaller than that person."

Lindbergh, who is known for his cinematic images, also denounced the portrayal of women in the media: "It has now gone to the dog, as women look in magazines," he said - and this is due to image processing programs like Photoshop, which could erase all references to a lived life. "You can reduce every human being to zero." Beauty means something quite different to the photographer: "If you have the courage to be yourself, then you are beautiful." The task of a fashion photographer is to show exactly this beauty. "Even fashion photographers have a form of responsibility," Lindbergh said, explaining that they may not be regarded as artists but they are highly influential in images of women and also how women see ourselves. via

Models 1 Curve Girls Share No Photoshop Images & Thoughts About Natural Beauty

#DropThePlus-Models 1 Curve April 2015 Karmi Pinning, Charlotte Quita Jones, Iskra Lawrence and Anna Fritzdorf by Michelle GeorgeModels 1 Curve Girls Share No Photoshop Images & Thoughts About Natural Beauty

British modeling agency Models 1 puts its Curve girls in the spotlight, lensed without Photoshop by Michelle George. Curve writes that the Photoshoot was the idea of the girls themselves, that they wanted to be shot in their ‘most true and natural form’. By abandoning retouching or air brushing, the four models Karmi Pinning, Charlotte Quita Jones, Iskra Lawrence and Anna Fritzdorf are trying to bring a more authentic conversation to the world of beauty and fashion.

Photographer Michelle George talks about the project, explaining:

As a photographer, I work a lot with models of diverse shapes and sizes, yet what I’ve found with curvier models, is that they are often pigeonholed and either used in editorial in a tokenistic gesture, or the style of shoot is limited to either sexy pin up or lifestyle. What I want to show in this shoot is that that these girls are in fact naturally beautiful and can be used across the board, without being labelled as curvy or plus size. With all the recent controversy over the numerous, leaked, unretouched images of celebrities, I also felt it was important to be honest and show these girls unretouched in their natural form.

I feel very strongly, as a woman, that we need to empower each other and show that beauty is not defined by size. We need to start to push these boundaries and reach outside the tightly closed box of the fashion industry and embrace our beauty in its holistic, raw form.

This idea is really about showing the confidence you can have in your own body and not having to rely on retouching. Read on.
