Essential Bodywear committed to continuing to build on this inclusive foundation, by not manipulating anyone’s body in marketing photos. In 2018, making a commitment to include women in marketing campaigns that more accurately reflected who they serve, they stopped searching for media-defined ‘ideal’ bodies and started searching for change-makers both within the Fit Stylists family and from general public. Brave woman applied to model their bras and underwear, be photographed and help in their mission. The energy at photo shoots is powerful, inspiring and life-changing. With the latest catalog breaking sales records, speaking loudly in favor of the change.
