Girls about the attitude to your body and shooting in underwear

female nudity, on the one hand, is more tabooed than maleand on the other hand, it is constantly exploited and standardized.. Women with very different, rather than “model” body types are often difficult to accept, and also to be naked in front of others - on the beach or in the gym. The industry of beauty and fashion only supports this - women and women most of them find it difficult to associate themselves with women in lookouts and campaigns. Buying an advertised product does not bring us closer to these standards, but only emphasizes the difference: it seems that the clothes are designed for girls only with a certain type of figure, and this causes reasonable bewilderment.

We took six very different girls in the underwear of Russian designers and asked them to talk about the evolution of relationships with their own body, and also about whether it is difficult to show themselves "as is" in the world of strictly regulated beauty.

It is important for me to constantly experience myself and fight with my own weaknesses.

Top oh my

I think this shooting is the most difficult thing I've done in my life. But I myself expressed a desire to participate in it, so that it would be foolish and disrespectful to the team to back down. Well, it is important for me to constantly experience myself and fight with my own weaknesses, and the shooting seemed like a cool challenge.

My relationship with the body is bad, they used to be worse. If only one head could exist, without everything below the neck, a year ago I would have definitely agreed. I still have not learned to perceive my personality entirely, without separation from the body, but after a year of regular training I began to notice that my body can do some nice things, and not only bring, sorry, suffering: I like to run up escalators and the fact that I can handle heavy boxes myself when I move, for example. Even after I began to work with my hands, I began to appreciate them - sometimes they can do great things. And as you age, you learn to take care of yourself and you realize that if you don’t pay attention to your body, you simply cannot function as usual.

I hate to undress in front of others, I don’t go to the beach or to the pool (burkini is a theme). It is unpleasant for me to once again feel as if I was a leper because of my many years of flaws, as a result of which I look like this. I understand that this is an irrational judgment, but I still don’t know how to treat my body as much as others (with respect, interest and affection), because I don’t cope with the fact that manages to others. I do not know how long it will take to fix it all, but I am working on it.

I buy laconic clothes, black, because the rest of my clothes are also black and simple cut. I never compared myself with models from advertisements and only now wondered why. The reason is simple: because of the body, I always felt like a loser compared to others, regardless of how they look, and the models with their appearance are so far away from me that there is no need to compare.

All the above is a continuous minor, but it seems to me important to speak not only about successes, but failures, blunders and difficulties. I myself at one time imperceptibly fell for the bait of social networks, judging by which all my friends are completely smarter, kinder and more successful than me in everything. I realized this only recently and since then I have been trying to talk about everything in the proportion in which everything actually happens, because it is honest and good, and what else to follow in my life, I do not know.

Every time it seems to me that everyone around me looks at me and thinks: “Oh, God! And this is under her clothes ?!”

It is very difficult to accept oneself, and the relationship with the body is appropriate. Until I was 17, I was quite large, but I didn’t do anything about it: I didn’t play sports, I didn’t limit myself to eating. Only all the time she ached and suffered, that she was not born as thin as my girlfriends. But ten years ago I decided it was time to lose weight. For a couple of months I lost a few kilograms, having stopped eating after six. I liked the result, but the weight stopped falling, but I wanted more. Therefore, I have not found anything better than to stop eating after four. Then after twelve days (it must be understood that amid growing thin and unrequited love, I started to get insomnia and I could wake up at six in the morning to have breakfast). In the end, I lost 13 kg. Now I think all this was some kind of hell and horror. I was nervous, tense and desperately angry.

Until I was 21, I also hated my hair: I dyed it in different colors (mostly blonde) and straightened it. For a long time she wore colored lenses, because the color of her eyes seemed dull to me. But then she shaved her head, removed the lenses and began to adore her hair and eyes.

Before unfamiliar women I easily undress. From the age of 18 I have been constantly going to the pool, I like sneaking on other people's bodies. I like anonymity. At the same time, it is awkward for me to undress in front of those whom I know. In front of women, and especially in front of men. Even if it's just a swimsuit. Every time it seems to me that everyone around me looks at me and thinks: “Oh, God! And this is under her clothes ?!”

Recently, Masha Vorslav told about the exercise, where you need to find 10 parts that you like in your own body. I began to list and found all 10, but still it seems that there is nothing special about them. In short, all the time I want to look better and slimmer. I do not know how to deal with this.

It was very easy to decide on the shooting itself, because it was interesting. I experienced (and still worry) that the photos will turn out too realistic and the emphasis will be placed on the flaws of my figure, which I am terribly embarrassed about. She caught herself thinking that she had always considered beautiful lingerie as a lot of adult aunts with perfect figures. And in general, that beautiful underwear is like an elegant dress, "not for every day" - it is interesting, but for what then? In general, it is not clear a lot about lingerie, but after the shooting I really wanted to buy a couple of beautiful sets - sometimes to wear in the mood and under the clothes. Usually I buy the simplest thing - at H & M or at Uniqlo.

Happiness does not depend on whether you have dimples on the pope and how many cubes on the stomach

I matured very physically very early - already at eight years of age I had rounded shapes and began to grow breasts. And in my childhood I suffered a lot from this. Throughout my teens, I was seriously involved in sports - judo and sambo. It was a male company, there were few girls in the section, and I didn’t have any problems with appearance. But at some point, my body began to acquire too sporting outlines, the waist disappeared. And I stopped practicing. After that, I immediately recovered sharply - a common thing for those who give up a big sport. And work began with its own weight - long and laborious.

I sharply lost weight, sharply fat. The maximum weight was 62 kg, and the minimum - 42. Twenty kg were walking from 16 to 24 years. I can not say that I felt unhappy or happy depending on the weight. Happiness does not depend on whether you have dimples on the pope and how many cubes on the stomach. For me, it was always an inner feeling. In this case, I have never had problems with fans, no matter what size I was.

Now I clearly understand - yes, I have a feminine figure, but there is nothing wrong with that. I do not want to seem self-assured, but I really have no problems with my body. Fashion dictates boyish forms: flat chest, no priests. So what? Work on yourself is commendable, but do not bring this to idiocy.

For a long period of time, I have been practicing bodily practices: I try first to correct the internal state, and then to see how it will affect the body. In another way it does not work. To care for your body you need to - eat right, walk. But if you do not morally come into mental balance, you can go in for sports to the point of exhaustion, but you still can’t reach the result. The way you feel inside, what a message you radiate, what your mood is in your eyes - everything is reflected. You can go with a bad mood, while looking the same as you looked yesterday, but you will not catch a single admiring glance.

It was quite easy for me to decide on the shooting itself. I, like everyone, have a head, arms, legs. There is nothing strange in me. And in this form, people see me on the beach anyway.

The “take off the perfect underwear on the perfect models” approach no longer works

Like, probably, any other person, I went through different stages of perception of my own body. From total rejection in adolescence (and thoughts about tattoos, noticeable piercing and even plastic surgery) to absolute harmony. Now I am happy with everything and more and more often I realize that my main task is to take care of what I have got. This is the observance of the daily regimen, and daily physical exertion (fast walking is considered, yes?), And mandatory one and a half liters of water per day.

I easily agreed to the shooting, because, first of all, I think that in 2016 the approach “we will take off the perfect underwear on ideal models” does not work anymore. A single standard of appearance no longer exists: any body can be beautiful. Secondly, I had the privilege: I know the girls with whom I worked on the set, and therefore it was easier for me. Of course, it is a bit strange to be the only undressed person in a room full of people in jeans and T-shirts, but talk of the second Uniqlo x Lemaire collaboration and work moments significantly slowed down the degree of awkwardness. Especially the lingerie I really liked: about the same models I wear in my life.

The main criterion when choosing underwear for me is comfort. I would never wear heels if I’m waiting for a meeting during the day or have a walk scheduled for the evening. The story is the same with the laundry: I should not feel it on the body or think that the bra strap slips all the time. The best set - panties with a high waist and bodice-gang or light bralett. What is strange, it takes the most time to search for the simplest and simplest models. Neither consultants in underwear stores, nor even advertising campaigns, help. Well, seriously, does any of us have the parameters of the angels of Victoria's Secret? The problem was solved simply: as soon as I find the right thing, I buy it in several colors at once. I also had a good experience with Russian brands: I ordered three pairs of LOVEgoods Lingerie panties that I sewed according to my standards. Now I plan to order a couple of bodices and not bother with the choice of linen in the next six months.

On the cult of the priests, I generally keep quiet - I, to put it mildly, delighted

I immediately agreed to the shooting, not thinking at all. And I'm not really the most confident person on earth. I am 27, but I learned to love myself unconditionally only a couple of years ago. I quietly kompleksovala in school, and then quietly in the first year, but quietly - the key word. I knew that I was of medium build, I had an English 12th size, all my girlfriends were thin and could wear shorts skirts, which was the maximum reason for the disorder. Despite the absolute cult of thinness, against which I grew up, I clearly knew that your personality (yes-yes) was most important, and was actively engaged in the development of the inner world. It was boring to go to the gym, it was not even included in the top 20 cool things you could do in your free time.

Since 2006, Lily Allen has become my absolute and only mentor, who insistently said in all media one thing - I don't give a shit about what you think about me and my body, she sang that she is not Kate Moss, and that she doesn't like it macaroni ("I wanna be able to eat spaghetti bolognese"). It seems to me that I looked at all the interviews with her that I could find on the Internet, I really considered her mentor and would remain Lily’s lawyer until the end of my days.

Of course, I hated the beach, because anyway, somewhere deep inside, I was terribly embarrassed (although I did not submit it). It seems to me that only last summer I finally scored and stopped being afraid of what people would think about my body. And now it does not matter - people on the beach or people on the Internet. Shooting was a very cool experience, I was very comfortable, which I myself was very happy about. But we all understand that it’s one thing when you photograph yourself on the phone and you know your best angles and curves, and quite another when you just stand in a transparent body in the middle of an empty studio. When the photos were sent to me, I was at first covered with a wave of panic, and then pride or something. In life, I wear American Apparel lingerie - I have three identical bras of different colors. Every time when I find myself abroad, I just take new pairs without measuring. For my taste, they are sexy, simple and comfortable at the same time, so I don’t particularly think about lingerie. So on the set, I gladly measured all the kits and body.

Last year I started to walk on the ground - besides the fact that it is very fun, your body pulls up, the butt is pumped up, and the waistline decreases, I don’t need anything else. My weight will always change, I quickly take off and quickly type, everything happens according to my mood, I like to eat good food and I won’t deprive myself of it for anything. And I think I learned to love my body at any of these stages. And now, in contrast to the same 2006, the modern cultural background is very supportive of my self-esteem, I love Barbie Ferreira, Naomi Shimada, this is a real virtual sisterhud. On the cult of the priests, I generally keep quiet - to put it mildly, I am delighted. And if earlier I wouldn’t refuse to simply become thin, now I wouldn’t trade my body for another, I’m happy in it. In short, what I want to say is very cool to be a girl in 2016.

body Oh, my

I don't end where my ass ends

During the year that I was depressed, I recovered greatly. It took me a long time to realize how I look and how I changed. Before the illness, it seemed to me that I was complete - and I constantly lived with this sensation. But now, when I really became full and can wear plus size clothes, looking at my old photos, I honestly do not understand what the problem was. I feel much happier than then. I have a healthy relationship with my body, but, one has to admit, for a very long time they were not at all like that. I did a lot to change it - to love myself, accept and understand that I am “such” and my body “is.”

Before depression, I ran and in general was quite active. Now I am “weak”, and I don’t like exactly that this “weakness”. But this is not about looks, but about strength and endurance. Therefore, I plan to start running again and go to boxing - just to feel good. Doing sports to lose weight is quite a dead end topic. At least it doesn't work for me. This is a destructive thing, because of which I became an enemy to myself. I kept repeating to myself: "You must suffer, you must be thin!"

On the whole, I am upset by the number of beautiful pictures that we encounter - this greatly affects our attitude towards ourselves and others. You begin to expect from yourself and others the impossible. But specifically, I rarely face some kind of pressure. For me, this is just a traversed story due to the fact that my environment is absolutely bodipositive.

It was not easy for me to agree to the shooting itself. It seems to me that for women it is a more difficult decision than for men. All these people are sitting in my head anyway. "What if a grandmother sees me?" And mine will definitely see - we are friends with her on Facebook. But I really like Wonderzine and I like what you do, so I could not refuse. For another edition, I would have appeared hardly. In addition, I love my tattoos, and I am happy when others see them.

Before shooting, I asked my husband to take a picture of me at home - she looked and realized that everything was fine. In the end, whether my stretch marks are taken or not - they will not disappear. From the publication I will not change in any way, and it’s stupid to worry about it - I live with myself every day.

It seems to me that due to the fact that all women are objectified, they automatically begin to do it themselves and think: "If I don’t look the way I should look, it means something is wrong with me." But you need to regain subjectivity, say: "I am more than my body," "I do not end where my ass ends."

Now it is much easier for me in some things - I can no longer physically fit into the standards that exist. That is the same girl from the cover, I will not, and I do not want to strive for this. At some point, it ceases to be scary to be "not so." Ugly. I now ceased.
