Target is keeping it real in its new body positive swimwear campaign, which is entirely photoshop free. 

The retailer has partnered with creator and dancer Megan Batoon, pro skateboarder Lizzie Armanto, model and body activist Denise Bidot, and TV host and model Kamie Crawford. The women have posted unairbrushed images of themselves modeling the new collection on social media. 

"Target is committed to empowering women to feel confident in what they wear by offering a variety of style choices," a Target spokesperson said in a press release. "It was important to us to use photography that represented their true beauty, without filters." 

Target was criticized for its excessive photoshopping of models in 2014.

 

“When you're a curvy girl it can be hard to find a suit that fits perfectly in all the right places, but Target definitely has accomplished that with their swimwear," Bidot said in a statement on Target's website.

 

“You're bearing the most amount of skin in public when you're in a swimsuit, so it's important that it helps you feel confident so you can be completely yourself and enjoy every part of summer without the burden of insecurities,” Batoon said.
