If you happened to be strolling around Berlin earlier this week, you may have spotted something a little unexpected: a group of women stripped down to their underwear, walking around with massive smiles on their faces.
On Tuesday photographer and plus size model Silvana Denker gathered people of all shapes and sizes for one mission.
Her new project, BodyLove, hopes to spread the message that beauty comes in many different forms, gathering people of every age, gender, and size to showcase the bodies we rarely see in mainstream media.
For this stop on the BodyLove project, women wrote ‘Body Love’ and messages of positivity on their bodies, then walked together around the streets of Berlin in just their underwear.
Silvana had previously taken her message to the streets of Siegen, Koblenz, Hamburg, and Cologne, and hopes that the project can spread worldwide.
The next stops will be at Stuttgart on the 19th of December, followed by Munich, Leipzig, and Rostock in 2016.
Silvana wrote in a press release:’I want to reach as many people as possible and make more people confident that the way they look is just perfect.
‘Perfection should not be the main goal, everybody should be perfect in his/her imperfection.’
