The hunt for quilting complexes is on. Social networks are fertile ground for exhibitions and sometimes dubious but sometimes legitimate claims. Among the (positive) trends that help women accept their “unfiltered” body, we remember the #postpartum launched on Instagram by young mothers to assume their forms after childbirthor so from #wewearwhatwewant, rant of women from Gironde against the diktat of thinness on Twitter.
The latest cry from the heart launched on Instagram this time targets the orange peel complex, this famous cellulite that affects the majority of women, regardless of their build. Tired of photo retouching intended to smooth the skin and make it look (boring) perfection, women from all walks of life strike back by throwing snapshots of their cellulite on Instagram. Grouped under the Cellulite Saturday banner, the message is clear: love your body with its little flaws and imperfections. “My body is perfectly imperfect”, let loose the users of social networks.
End of photos that are too “photoshopped”?
In the fight for self-acceptancefaced with unrealistic fashion standards, women can count on a new government decree included in the health modernization law which provides for the obligation to mention “retouched photos” on the photos of mannequins modified by software. This mandatory mention should take effect from January 1, 2017. Failure to comply with this decree will be punishable by a fine of € 37,500.
