Boohoo has been praised by thousands of people online for not Photoshopping out a models stretch marks.
A stunning model was pictured modelling an open-back yellow bodysuit, with the stretch marks on her bum and on her legs fully on show.
Obviously, this is amazing – because so often, we forget that, because of their utter beauty, models are just normal people.
And so Boohoo reminding us of this fact is something that should be celebrated.
Facebook user Cheryl Adele was spotted the photo and uploaded it to her page alongside the caption: I find this so amazing!
That even on a massive clothing brand like Boohoo they havent photoshopped away the models stretch marks!
This is what girl power is all about! And every woman has imperfections.

Cant be the only one that thinks its absolutely amazing that boohoo havent airbrushed out their models “flaws.” Embracing the girls stretch marks and showing young girls that your appearance should never be changed or hidden away to please others.. aw I love

(@xobananas) Growing up my stretch marks were my biggest insecurity. I tried every cream, oil & scrubbing technique but only one thing worked… accepting that they were mine & there for life

Just a few weeks ago we wrote about how ASOS used a gorgeous model with her back rolls fully on display. They were also previously praised for refusing to edit out models stretch marks, much like Boohoo.
Heres hoping other brands follow suit so that so that we can show that every body is beautiful.
