Missguided+'s New Campaign Is Totally Unretouched

by Melanie Richtman

If you don't recognize Barbara "Barbie" Ferreira yet, you will soon. After signing with Wilhelmina in 2015, Ferreira began booking projects with Aerie, i-D and Teen Vogue, and started gaining prominence as a plus size style and body positivity icon. Now, Barbie Ferreira will be the face of Missguided+'s completely unretouched fall 2016 line.

The partnership just makes sense. Missguided is all about being bold, sexy and confident, and their Missguided+ collection empowers everyone to express themselves through fashion by providing options in sizes beyond the typical size range of 0-10 at affordable prices (Missguided+ includes sizes 12-20).

Ferreira talked about the partnership in a statement saying:

"I loved working with Missguided on this new campaign. The clothes are a statement, and anyone can have access to this collection. Missguided doesn't exclude anyone's beauty and they provide a range that isn't like anything else. The clothes are fearless and just in a few extra sizes. The collection can let you be a badass b*tch without an asterisk or a label."

Missguided also gets bonus points for refusing to retouch its Fall 2016 Missguided+ campaign featuring Ferreira, because, hello, realistic body standards are totally in right now and there's no reason to perpetuate unrealistic ones.

It definitely seems like a natural partnership, because Ferreira is fierce AF.

And a body positive role model.

Not to mention, stylish.

So hopefully this turns into a long lasting partnership.

Can't wait to start shopping.
