Size Matters | Barbie Ferreira (Episode 2 of 4)

In the second of our week of films on whether fashion needs a body image health check, we hear from Barbie Ferreira, the 18-year old queen of the in-between who definitely isn’t into your Beach Body Ready bullshit. Confronted with the sad reality that there were no curvy role models to look up to while growing up, Barbie decided to take matters in to her own hands by sending off some pictures to American Apparel. Fast forward to today and she is a role model for young girls the Insta-world over, calling for representations of people from all walks of life, gender, sexuality, (dis)ability, and race.
