It's called Aerie Bras Make You Feel Real Good, and features models wearing colostomy bags, insulin pumps, models with vitiligo, Down Syndrome. Models in wheelchairs. And more.

 

 

Some also have underarm hair, so if that offends anyone best to not look.

I'm not offended. It's part of life which happens to some. Everyone has a place in our society. It should help with self esteem of younger individuals.

Kudos to those that went in front of the camera to show others it's ok to be who you are & they are not alone.

I would certainly hope no one would be offended by the humanity of those pictured. I was only talking about the underarm hair-it doesn't bother me but given my observations of what bothers some people here I thought it was possible.

Lovely to see. They just looked like regular women and I applaud Aerie for this campaign.  Adaptive clothing will probably start to be integrated into fashion before too long.

I don't click on links but it seems like it's add that features.....real life women.  I wouldn't be offended by that.  Ok, maybe I wouldn't like to see a lot of underarm hair...lol

I think it's terrific when advertisers are inclusive of people of all walks of life and there are those doing it. Aerie took it to the extreme to get people talking...about Aerie

I applaud Aerie for this new ad campaign showing women are beautiful just as they are. This needs to become our new standard.

Personally, I think it's about time.  And I applaud the company for running this ad campaign.
