Missguided have just launched an new ad campaign focusing on women who have skin conditions, aiming to celebrate our perceived ‘flaws’ and ‘imperfections’.

In a statement about the campaign, the fashion retailer said:

We collaborated with six empowering women who have inspired us to capture their uniqueness in our #InYourOwnSkin campaign. These babes continue to challenge the world’s perception of beauty and exude the confidence to be comfortable #InYourOwnSkin.

For the campaign, Missguided enlisted the help of six gorge ladies with skin conditions such as scarring, psoriasis and albinism. The stunning photos from the campaign’s shoot show the model’s real, beautiful bodies in an attempt to encourage women to be comfortable in their skin. Each of the models also share with us their story of ‘imperfection’.
