Target’s Unretouched Swimwear Campaign Wants You to Have Some Body-Positive Fun in the Sun
Throughout the year, Target will unveil more than 1,700 swimwear options (holy bikini) in a range of sizes for $15 to $50. In a press release, the company shared that the campaign, which won't involve any body reshaping or alteration, is "celebrating women and encouraging them to embrace the beauty of their own bodies." This campaign is a follow-up to the one last summer, which aimed to inspire women to "live confidently, on one’s own terms."
The campaign features models of different races, body types, and sizes. Their smiles and the suits are front and center alongside the lumps, bumps, stretch marks, and other common "imperfections" that dot every person's body.

"We wanted to represent swim in a way that’s true to life, and traditional retouching just didn’t jibe with that idea. We decided to show women’s bodies as they are, without reshaping their curves or removing stretch marks," the company said in a press release for its 2017 body-positive swimwear campaign. Sounds like Target is sticking to its message.
Although it's currently a little too chilly for a dip in the pool, seeing a more accurate representation of bodies is refreshing in a whole other way.
