Photo proof of just how beautiful stretch marks can be.
has encouraged people to share the stories behind their marks. With a focus on changes in the fashion industry,interviewed six models of different shapes and sizes about their stretch marks and how they’ve grown to view them.When I first noticed my stretch marks, I was surprised and a little scared. I was around 12 or 13 when I had a major growth spurt and the [stretch marks] on my knees appeared.
I would love it if men would shut up about every aspect of women’s bodies forever. Seriously, just shut your mouths! On a purely objective level, women’s bodies are incredible, magical, strong, life-creating vessels, and no one should ever make us feel bad about a couple of lines or rolls or curves. The modeling industry should keep making strides in the direction of inclusivity and body positivity so that little girls reading magazines will know that it’s OK to love themselves for who they are.
Today, I’m able to see and appreciate my stretch marks as part of what makes me beautiful. They’re my signature stripes, and they are part of my story and growth. I look at my stretch marks and the rest of my body as a physical reflection of my existence so far. I’ve taken a much more natural and holistic stance with body image.
To me, they were always more [like] the idea of tiger stripes. You grew, and you earned them. It was surprising to me that so many women are worried about them, but almost all of us have them. I think the feeling of worry, especially in terms of feeling inadequate, comes from comparing each other to those ultra-retouched, magazine editorial spreads where the girl’s skin is basically radiating off the page.Especially in America, absolute perfection is worshipped.
