'A campaign is not diverse if an entire continent is missing'
Activist, Michelle Elman, and photographer, Linda Blacker, teamed up to create this stunning campaign featuring plus-size Asian models. As a response to the lack of representation in media, these images are breaking the stereotypes that all Asian women are petite and small.
While posting the campaign images on Instagram, Michelle wrote: "Asians deserve to be represented. Asians deserve to be seen. And all Asians aren’t the stereotype of being small and petite. Being Asian is not one look. Being Asian is not one culture. Whilst even this shoot isn’t perfect representation, it shows just a small sample of the diversity within Asia. #AsianRepresentation."
Linda added on her own account, “Together, we created this photoshoot to support this important push for inclusivity for plus size Asians and ask for change in the industry!”
