MaxiMe Models, the only model agency in the Benelux to work exclusively with plus sized models, is starting a campagne called #weareallwomen.Size matters?Achieving size zero is an impossible task for most women. The average Dutch woman is a size 42. We recognize this in everyday life, but not in the media. There, size zero is still the rule of thumb for most. MaxiMe Models aims to change that. Owner and founder, Miranda Koelemeijer, pleads for diversity in the media as well as the fashion industry, because all human beings are beautiful, regardless of color, size or age.Size zero: The Fairy TaleOur portfolio mirrors reality, not fairy tales. The average consumer is demanding more and more realistically represented and MaxiMe is meeting that demand. Plus sized men and women should be equally portrayed as size zero. One size is not inherently better than the other size. As far as MaxiMe is concerned, all sizes should be portrayed in the media; by no means should we trade in size zero for plus size.Natural beautiesBeing fed up with having people being described as sizes and numbers, Koelemeijer decided it was high time to show the world that people don’t have to fit idealized standards, that retouching doesn’t mean altering a persons shape in Photoshop. To this extent, six of her models had their picture taken without make-up, and without any retouching done to their appearances. Real women, all natural beauties. Taking things as they are, which in this case, are no less than beautiful. Photos and video provided by Marco Edelman of Edelman Photography. -- source link
