This lingerie campaign celebrates body diversity in the best possible way

Whether it's embracing your psoriasis, showing off your stretchmarks or celebrating mothers' real post-birth bodies, we're here for women proudly displaying their natural, unfiltered beauty.
That's why Figleaves is top of our list of body-positive brands right now for rejecting unachievable beauty standards with their empowering new lingerie campaign.


The fashion shoot, titled In Living Colour, is fronted by British model, Leslie Sidora, and looks to promote a realistic body image with its honest, unretouched images, far away from the filtered perfection of conventional beauty campaigns.


In keeping with Figleaves' body positive Instagram messaging, the new campaign features a diverse line-up of models including Brazilian-born model Marianne Lima, Danish model Nynne Dehnfjeld and South African model Andrea Scheepers, who look like they're having a damn good time celebrating their natural selves.


The bold, brightly colored underwear is available in an impressive 130 bra sizes up to a H cup size too, so there's every change of finding your perfect fit.
"At Figleaves we are committed to providing beautiful lingerie and swim for all women, whatever their shape," the brand's head of buying, Jenni Burt, said of the new campaign. "And we recognize that all women want to enjoy the latest styles and on-trend colors; not just basics in limited standard colors."


Leslie Sidora, who rose to fame on Instagram, added that she hoped the new campaign would show that women should not have to conform to societal pressures, as well as proving the power of positive representation.


"The industry and society tend to give us the wrong idea but I hope that with the new diversity in media it will help girls feel more confident," she commented. "Look at yourself in the mirror and realize how beautiful you are. Tell yourself those things: you’re beautiful, you’re strong – with or without stretch marks, cellulite, a belly."

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as  Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother  Sunny Deol  was already the  dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
