NEIWAI Women's Underwear, Spring and Summer 2020 New: "NO BODY IS NOBODY"

"At the end of the shoot, they all sat on the bed, as if they didn't want to leave. Everyone was in a very comfortable atmosphere. They were all real people."

NEIWAI expresses its attitude towards the real body and the beauty of diversity with the declaration of "NO BODY IS NOBODY". Presenting truth and pluralism is a worldwide trend. Under this grand proposition, declarations of political correctness are easy to have, but real flesh and blood and moving power are always in the sea.

In January 2020, photographer Luo Yang recorded the true beauty of the 6 girls with lenses, and we also approached, listened, and recorded the entire process. Unexpectedly and logically, the process by which each of them faced their bodies was not easy, there were fragile parts, and there was an explosive force. Right now, they are still on the road.

Luo Yang and the girls

In 2008, Luo Yang took the first image of "Girls" and has continued to create for the past 12 years.

The video comes from the growth of herself and some girls. "In life, they are both fragile and persistent, decisive, full of hope and lurking in crisis. I hope their life and this series of images enter a wider world."

No one is more suitable for shooting "NO BODY IS NOBODY" than Luo Yang. Our original intention is to break the inherent impression of beauty and to make it more diverse.

For Luo Yang, this is a very rich filming. "For the first time, I gathered all the different types of girls together in one day to shoot, and I also intuitively saw some chemistry between them. Response. In fact, these beautiful pictures and states come from themselves. I will enlarge the beauty and let them show it more confidently. "

This collaboration is an extension of the individuality of art, but it also has the power of a real group.

Along the spine line of Georgina's back, there was a scar of tens of centimeters. "But I would never mind backless."

Due to acquired scoliosis, she underwent corrective surgery when she was 13 years old. The surgical site was very close to the central nervous system, and she would be paralyzed for life with a slight deviation.

The operation was successful, but also left a long scar on her back, leaving several steel nails in her body. "This operation was performed for more than 7 hours. The date of the operation was July 9th, which happened to be my birthday-it was so cool to have the operation on my birthday. Two or three days after the operation, my first physiological period suddenly occurred. Here it is. As if destined, it is a very special operation. "

During the postoperative recovery period, she needed to wear molds and couldn't take physical education classes, but she insisted on doing morning exercises with her classmates. "I can do whatever I raise with my hands. But when I bend down, I am the only one in the entire playground. It's on the other side. "At school, most people do morning exercises in a form, but she always does it very seriously. "Because I'm desperate, this may be my only exercise opportunity."

After changing the mold, she saw the scar for the first time from the reflection in the mirror. "It feels so magical. Suddenly there is a sign on her body and she will live with you forever."

Georgina was optimistic about the scar. Not everyone has a scar on their back. "It makes me more special and more confident." When she is particularly tired and unhappy in life and work, she thinks about her 13-year-old herself.

"After the anesthesia after the operation, there was real pain. The whole body was painful, and it kept hurting. I couldn't sleep at all. A boy who was undergoing surgery at the same time as me, screamed every night, but I put up. By contrast, the difficulties now faced are nothing. "

She also doesn't mind wearing backless clothes. "I like my body, including this scar. You know, people with a big flower arm love to wear sleeveless clothes. My scars are to me It's the equivalent of a big flower arm. "

There will still be regrets: many sports can not be done, can not carry or carry heavy objects, it will be uncomfortable when the weather is bad, and the problem of asymmetry of high and low shoulder muscles ...

Georgina hopes that by participating in the "NO BODY IS NOBODY" project, more people will know that there is such a disease, and its incidence is actually not low. You should pay more attention to the spine health of yourself and others. "Children who have this disease like me Maybe they will be a little inferior in themselves, and then seeing that I can confidently show it, they will say that everything is not so bad, and people around you should not laugh at how they look so strange. "

The presence or absence of scars on our bodies does not affect our appreciation of our bodies.

heat

"When do you think you are the most beautiful?"

"I think I am the most beautiful when I have love, whether I love myself or others. We will unconsciously look for the common ground of beauty, but ignore the beauty itself is diverse and cannot be defined, and the beauty is born of love. There will be beauty. "

Until junior high school, the heat was a very popular girl in school. At that time, she was thin and thin, and the little boy would tell you that you are the most beautiful in our class.

"When adolescents develop, they have different degrees of desire for food, and they gradually begin to gain weight."

She could feel that as she became fatter, she became less popular and became a girl who looked ordinary in school. She no longer received compliments, and even someone would directly ask her "how did you become so fat".

"At that time, I was very concerned about what other people think of my figure and started the process of losing weight. If I was in good shape, I would do a lot of high-intensity exercise. When I was lazy, I would go on a diet or induce vomiting.

It was about 70 kilograms when she was the fattest. She saw traces of skin being pulled apart by the skin on the inside of her thigh. She was also frustrated by the awkwardness of her body movements. "Once we were organizing some props, everyone was very busy. I accidentally stumbled and broke a bottle-I felt like I was too fat. "

Unsure, she fell into deep self-doubt, was extremely sensitive inside, and her relationship with her friends became a bit stiff. She would always be worried about what they said unintentionally, but in the end she still blame herself, and she hated it even more. The one who can't control what to eat.

"The quagmire, the harder you struggle, the less you can climb."

After going to college, she gradually came into contact with more diverse aesthetics and cultures. She began to pay attention to large-size models and entertainers from abroad, and was able to show her body with confidence. "I will look at myself and go a little bit. Look for beauty in yourself. "

"My mother also gave me a lot of encouragement. Her height of 1.6 meters, about 80 kilograms, is also a fleshy figure, but she often praises herself and encourages me to look in the mirror and say some praise to myself."

For heat, praise is important. Praise will encourage you to look more closely at your body and see the beauty that has been overlooked: it may be natural curvature, soft touch, maybe skin color, stubborn hair, or a birthmark, a scar ... They are all waiting for the eyes you agree with.

"One day, a friend saw my belly bulging and didn't try to beat my belly and say how so fat. She said I think your belly bulged like an apple, and then she rounded her hands on me It ’s cute on my stomach. "

"I used to wear loose T-shirts and trousers to cover myself all over the summer. Now, I usually wear clothes that ordinary girls like, and I especially want to show what I think is beautiful. Why do people say that they are so fat? Come on, I don't care. "

Regarding weight loss, heat has a different understanding-weight loss is not because of doubt and denial of your body, but a way to return to a healthy and free when you are unhealthy and fat.

She thinks that the society ’s aesthetics of thinness will not disappear so quickly. Fat is not wrong, and thinness is right. She now cares more about whether the figure affects health.

Of course, there will still be moments of inferiority, but it is not the inferiority of the figure, but the inferiority caused by some of her inadequacy. "Now basically I completely accept my figure."

Participating in this project, she wants to show what she finds beautiful, and also encourages those girls who think they are fat: it is not wrong to be a fat girl, nor does it not meet the requirements of this world. Your body is actually beautiful.

At the shooting scene that day, Julie turned on the phone's front camera several times halfway, sorted her hair, and compared gestures, but didn't take a selfie naturally.

"Don't dare to take a selfie, it's too exposed." She said with a quiver.

At first grade, Julie didn't realize the development of her breasts at first, she just felt like she was fatter than other girls. When adolescent classmates, including Julie herself, gradually learned about development, she did not dare to skip ropes and run. "It will shake, and children will laugh."

She admits that girls with bigger breasts are difficult. "Maybe in her early 20s, a slightly conservative dress looks like she is about 30 years old, and she looks very mature; she is more exposed, and some people will really say that she is too cheap." As a freelance photographer, she occasionally Use yourself as a model, do some creative shooting and post it on social networks, and someone left a message saying that you asked for sex. "My attitude is with him, but to be honest, I will be a little unhappy. Maybe he thinks I am Followers, but he doesn't really know what I'm doing. "

"Actually, I don't want people to pay attention to how I look good or not. What is my figure? At this stage, most of my mind is spent on work." She is trying to seek recognition, an affirmation that has nothing to do with the outside world. Behind the scenes, I care more about whether I can make meaningful works. "

"At the end of the shoot, they all sat on the bed,

Does not seem to want to leave.

The atmosphere where everyone is together is very comfortable.

Are real people. "

NEIWAI expresses its attitude towards the real body and the beauty of diversity with the declaration of "NO BODY IS NOBODY". Presenting truth and pluralism is a worldwide trend.

Today, with a documentary, an article, tell their story and thinking together.

This collaboration is an extension of the individuality of art, but it also has the power of a real group.

Julie

At the shooting scene that day, Julie turned on the phone's front camera several times halfway, sorted her hair, and compared gestures, but didn't take a selfie naturally.

"Don't dare to take a selfie, it's too exposed." She said with a quiver.

At first grade, Julie didn't realize the development of her breasts at first, she just felt like she was fatter than other girls. When adolescent classmates, including Julie herself, gradually learned about development, she did not dare to skip ropes and run. "It will shake, and children will laugh."

She admits that girls with bigger breasts are difficult. "Maybe in her early 20s, a slightly conservative dress looks like she is about 30 years old, and she looks very mature; she is more exposed, and some people will really say that she is too cheap." As a freelance photographer, she occasionally Use yourself as a model, do some creative shooting and post it on social networks, and someone left a message saying that you asked for sex. "My attitude is with him, but to be honest, I will be a little unhappy. Maybe he thinks I am Followers, but he doesn't really know what I'm doing. "

"Actually, I don't want people to pay attention to how I look good or not. What is my figure? At this stage, most of my mind is spent on work." She is trying to seek recognition, an affirmation that has nothing to do with the outside world. Behind the scenes, I care more about whether I can make meaningful works. "

Although occasionally encountered the opposite sex staring at her chest on the road, Julie insisted that "what you wear today depends on your mood first." The eyes and evaluations of others are unavoidable, and she does not want to turn a blind eye to her wishes. She finds some delicate balances in it, such as cutting her hair shorter, a boy-like hairstyle, so sometimes she can wear it a little bit. it is good.

At the beginning of the filming, Julie was a little nervous and shy and didn't talk much. When she interviewed her, her voice was soft and soft, but when she got into the atmosphere of the scene and relaxed, everyone saw the confidence and strength in her eyes.

"No matter what kind of girl you are, whether you are good or bad, you will face good or bad evaluations." When faced with stereotypes and evaluations like "chestless and brainless", her attitude is to ignore and accept as little as possible. "For these expressions, we all have the freedom to choose not to accept them."

When this girl spoke this sentence in a soft voice, you could feel that her courage was not instant, and when unfriendly remarks and eyes suddenly struck, she was still hard to be completely unaffected, but at least she would not Then easily hurt yourself.

From the first time I saw Sister Ma to the end of the entire shooting, the girls in the project team repeatedly said, "I hope that I can be as cool as Sister Ma when I am old."

Some things that are usually easy to notice, such as age, such as wrinkles, are not so important to Ma, or need not be so pessimistic.

There may be such a voice. For example, if you think that you are getting older, you should dress a little more conservatively. You must be proportionate in everything you do, and you cannot stand on your own. But for Ms. Ma, the increase in age does not mean the increase in restrictions. When she thinks that her body is beautiful and wants to show it with confidence, then there is nothing to hesitate and taboo, just enjoy it.

In the face of the skin that is no longer tight, and the increasing wrinkles, she did not mind. "I used to think it was not beautiful. I smiled awkwardly when taking pictures. How do you laugh when you want to laugh and restrain this wrinkle?" She tried to bury the thread once, paid a lot of money, and then finished it A piece of purple, it seems to be impossible for two or three months, "I don't enjoy it, it is too painful, so I don't want this 'beauty'."

Now that wrinkles are irreversible, that makes wrinkles meaningful. She thought, if now there is happiness from the heart, even if wrinkles become deeper because of laughter, who can deny the beauty and coolness in it?

"I have never lost anyone. Really, people said at the time that I had a face and a figure, and I didn't lack anything. Now I will see the beauty of young girls with an appreciation, and at the same time take out The beauty of my own age. I don't think I'm young, but I still have people to praise me. "— Enjoying praise, doing what I do is my sister's attitude.

Sister Ma studied and lived in Japan for a while

Participated in the movie "Swallowtail Butterfly" directed by Shun Iwai

When asked if she liked her current body, Ma's answer was also cool.

"I like it, but when I like it, I will not refuse to make myself better. I will be more beautiful next year. I can do a little hard work and I am very happy."

Nai is 34 years old and lives under Mount Fuji in Japan. She is a mother of 2 years old.

From the age of 27, Navi has always wanted a child, but she has not longed for marriage.

"I think more about living with children than imagining marriage. The idea in my mind is that if you want children, you don't have to get married."

After experiencing love, pregnancy, and childbearing, Nai finally chose not to marry. "The father of the child did not live together, but has been guarded from afar. I followed my heart and chose this kind of life of raising children alone. the way."

After deciding to live in such a non-traditional way, she did not accidentally hear some negative gossip, "I don't think I am a 'single mother', so I don't care about those bad words." The friends I know are happy to help take care of her children from time to time. "Not only in Japan, in this world, we have many 'family members' that can be called moms, dads, grandpas, grandma, brothers, sisters, brothers, sisters Family-it's full of love, and I think our family will continue to grow in the future. "

Everyone around her said that she had a perfect figure before she had a baby-she always had exercise habits, was tall and thin, and had hardly received any negative comments about her figure.

No one knows more about the various changes that have occurred to her body since her pregnancy: weight gain, breasts getting bigger, nipples getting darker, belly fluffy, arms growing strong muscles because of the child ...

Compared with the intuitive change of her figure, what made her feel more magical was the change in her own energy, her mentality and emotions became different. "I feel an unprecedented happiness. Of course, I will also feel hard and uneasy and need to go alone Faced with many things, but my heart has become more honest and honest. I think I should be the focus of all changes. "

Last year, Naivi went to Okinawa with family and friends. At that time, the child and his dad were sitting next to her, and a poisonous jellyfish came towards her. "I was taken into an ambulance because this jellyfish was very toxic and someone was killed. In the end, I got through the pain. And danger, leaving these scars on the legs. "

Naiwei said that this was a tattoo from the universe.

"Although I also like the body before giving birth, I also like the body now."

Feeding bottle

"My name is milk bottle, and milk bottle is milk flat." As soon as she opened, she managed to make everyone laugh, as she said, "No bragging, whether or not this explosive head, I think I have always been the focus."

Looking at the bottle in front of you, it is difficult to imagine her former appearance.

"In the past, the skin was too white, and the WeChat name was emoji. My friends over time called me a" feeding bottle. "Yes, once the bottle was afraid of tanning, so I always went out with an umbrella; Fat, but I also messed up my body. I didn't come to my aunt for almost a year. I was afraid that I was not beautiful in the photo, and I did n’t dare to do many expressions.

"I was very oppressive at that time. I was actually not that kind of character, so I was very tired and depressed."

Change starts with going surfing. "They do n’t seem to be troubled by their bodies. The skin of wheat looks very healthy. I really feel beautiful. In this case, why ca n’t I accept my real body? ? "

She is devoted to surfing, spending most of her time with nature, with the ocean, with animals, and with friends she likes. "In this state, I am the most relaxed and happy."

After the shooting that day, Luo Yang said in an interview: "The baby bottle may also represent the status of some young girls in China. Traditionally, white is beautiful, but today we will find that white skin is with the brown skin of the bottle It ’s very beautiful at times. This kind of multi-cultural blending can produce an impact, and you can say what beauty is. "

In addition to skin color, the bottle also likes a scar above her abdominal muscles, because the surfing before was too fierce, and I have been rubbing the surfboard for several days in a row. Seeing it, but I'm actually very happy, I think it's beautiful. "-This is proof that she lives a life she really loves.

The baby bottle said she wanted to be "beautiful to herself", tanned into wheat-colored skin, meaningful tattoos and scars, and a flat chest that did not make her feel burdened, all the more shining parts after she finally faced her sincerely.
