Treize mannequins plus size enfilent leur maillot de bain (en images)

Depuis quelques années, les mannequins plus size ont accédé à de plus en plus de visibilité, et donc de notoriété, notamment grâce aux réseaux sociaux, où elles affichent leur corps, différent de l’image de perfection propagée par les magazines. Elles sont parfois qualifiées de « badass » tant elles ruent dans les brancards et cassent les codes, si bien établis, de l’esthétique du corps féminin. Et par là, encourage Madame Toulemonde dont le corps peut-être considéré comme trop rond pour s’afficher, à s’assumer. Hommage à ces naïades contemporaines qui profitent de l’été pour assumer encore un peu plus leur identité.

L’été est synonyme de soleil, plage, piscine et maillot de bain. Le moment idéal donc pour dévoiler son corps, en assumant ce qu’on pense parfois comme non admis socialement, à savoir ces rondeurs.

Voici des femmes, devenues célèbres parce qu’elles ont justement choisi d’assumer leur corps généreux et parfois considéré comme imparfait parce qu’hors des canons esthétiques classiques et très contemporains, abrité sous le terme de minceur. Des femmes qui ont même fait de cette différence leur métier, en devenant mannequins.

Les voici en tenue estivale, et parce que s’aimer soi-même est un travail qui ne doit pas connaître de répit, leur photo est très souvent accompagné d’un leitmotiv dans ce sens.

1.0I love the beach.
I love wearing a suit or a bikini and feeling the ocean breeze on my skin. Regardless of the size of my rolls, my boobs or my butt… it shouldn’t be any expectations for your body and you SHOULD feel comfortable being just who you are, wherever you are in your journey! At the eve of my 30th, this is one thing I learned. Acceptance is the key to happiness.
I’d love to see you bikini pics this summer and all year! Tag me! Accept yourself.
