Such is the social and media pressure towards the body of the models, actresses and, in general, women whose image is used as a business, that many have surgery in the same delivery, others start a race against the kilos when giving birth and many pose but request that a few tweaks be made to the photos, to remove the kilos which they consider to be left over on the scale.
Lara stone, a well-known Dutch model, has decided to hit the table about it and has posed naked one year after being a mother with the only condition that Photoshop was not used in his photos, so that the images were of his body as it is now.
The model has a one-year-old son with her husband, the comedian David Walliams, and in this year she has suffered in her own person the struggle with her body image, realizing that his current body is not the body he had before being a mother. Instead of fighting the wind and tide to be the same as before, Lara has fought for accept changes and for this he has decided to show himself to the natural world, without touching up.
For this he did a photo shoot for the magazine System Magazine and in it he explained the following:
Everyone has sagging arms or sagging chest. It is what it is. Right now I am trying to accept it. And that's fine, because the things that women can do with their body are incredible.
On more than one occasion I have talked about this. Society is increasingly trying to erase the traces of a pregnancy, a birth, a breastfeeding. Pretend it never happened and make the woman look the same as before, as if she were not a mother. However, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, caring for a child, the passage of time, new concerns ... all this makes the woman's body change (that of the man who lives with her also changes, logically, although normally not so much) and, as she says, it's okay.
It is a body that has created a baby and that has given it life. It has made it possible for a new being to exist. And then, from his guts, he has created the food to make him grow. If that is not something incredible I do not know what it can be. The changes that happen after doing incredible things are just the trace of all of it, the proof of all of it, and it shouldn't be treated as something to eliminate. At least I see it that way.
Lara, it seems, sees it the same, at least now, given that in July he officially returned to pose before a camera, for Calvin Klein, and then there was a touch up via computer so that there was no trace of everything he now lets see . Since then, it seems that she is relativizing her image more, she should not feel comfortable seeing that the girl in the photos is not really her and, with this new session, she has just told the world that she is really like that and that, when she thinks in which she has been able to create her son inside, think of the sagging of his arms seems absurd.
What do you think of the step Lara Stone has taken?
