Swimsuit shopping can feel like an uphill battle, primarily because the average woman often doesn’t resemble the models showcased in advertising. However, Target is shaking things up with its latest ad campaign that proudly features unretouched images of real women embracing their bodies. Yes, you read that right—these models are flaunting striking swimsuits in all their natural glory!
As part of the #TargetSwim initiative, Target has partnered with some amazing personalities who embody confidence and authenticity. This campaign introduces us to rising star and dancer, Lily Monroe, professional skateboarder Mia Torres, body positivity advocate and model Sarah Jenkins, and TV host and model Jenna Brooks. Each woman exudes a fierce sense of self, encouraging others to embrace their unique beauty.
You might remember Sarah from that stunning Lane Bryant swimsuit advertisement that made waves in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue earlier this year. She has returned, looking as radiant as ever, and shared her enthusiasm for being part of such a revolutionary movement in media.
The unrealistic portrayal of thin models in swimwear campaigns has long suggested that only a specific body type is worthy of being seen in a swimsuit. But guess what? That notion is outdated! This campaign showcases models of various sizes, challenging the idea of “perfection” and instead highlighting the beauty of authenticity.
As Jenna Brooks eloquently puts it, “Target showcases women of all shapes, sizes, and colors radiating confidence in their swimsuits, and that message resonates with women everywhere. Confidence is contagious!”
You can explore the entire collection on Target’s website and find a swimsuit that speaks to you. For more insightful content about pregnancy and insemination, check out this blog post here.
