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

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!

    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

    Ya, so about that last butt pic... The left side has been edited by a 4 year old using MS Paint. Pretty much ruins their "Look at us we don't edit" pedestal they are on. 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? I've seen documentaries about agency's that rejected gorgeous young women who may've been the right height yet who were considered too flawed. Eg, boobs to big, stretch marks or wobbly thigh bits, even though they were a size 6 or 8...

    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.

    It's probably strange to say but even the stretch marks look unnatural, like they are added to emphasize the message. Regardless, it's fundamentally the right direction.

    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!!! :)

    These photos are altered. To ADD the stretch marks. None of these photos show actual stretch marks. Real marks don't happen in the direction or shape of these and they certainly don't happen on these women. This is BS.

    If you are going to be real, be real. Don't show a size 00 with stretch marks. Show me a 14 with stretch marks on the front of her belly. Or the front of her thighs. That's real.

    I didn't even realise young models like this would have stretch marks. I thought they came from rapid weight gain, like pregnancy. I'm almost 50, a mum and have no stretch marks (got lucky there, but plenty of other faults) so I've learned something today.

    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.

    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.

    My biggest question is, is why do so many of these thin chicks all have stretch marks? I only got mine when I gained a bunch of weight.

    i think it's great, i hate seeing models or women close to my age if there are any with no wrinkle, stretch marks, scars, etc. congraats to companies who are not air brushing and going the natural way the way they should!

    It's probably strange to say but even the stretch marks look unnatural, like they are added to emphasize the message. Regardless, it's fundamentally the right direction.

    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!!! :)

    These photos are altered. To ADD the stretch marks. None of these photos show actual stretch marks. Real marks don't happen in the direction or shape of these and they certainly don't happen on these women. This is BS.

    If you are going to be real, be real. Don't show a size 00 with stretch marks. Show me a 14 with stretch marks on the front of her belly. Or the front of her thighs. That's real.

    I didn't even realise young models like this would have stretch marks. I thought they came from rapid weight gain, like pregnancy. I'm almost 50, a mum and have no stretch marks (got lucky there, but plenty of other faults) so I've learned something today.

    Are these models perfect? No. Are these models beautiful? Hell yeah. If you are proud of yourself, you don't need the opinion of others. Be who you want to be, be happy if others choose to be different.

    That's great! I love this as an owner of some stretch marks and other imperfections on thighs. I don't like mine imperfections but i tolerate them as they are just nature! We should all know that this is just life and nothing to be ashamed of, ofc you can still not like yours imperfections and fight them but never shame anyone for theirs imperfections!

    @Monika Technically yes, according to a subjective definition. And is the “99%” thing based off an actual statistic? And how can you just say that I’m close minded because of a bit of mild criticism?

    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.

    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.
