Lane Bryant (finally) Features Diverse Bodies!

Refinery29 is applauding Lane Bryant for taking action after social media backlash for their lack of body diversity in advertising. With their new #ThisBody campaign, the popular retailer is showing off amazing icons in their LIVI Active line,  like Triathlete Krista Henderson.

The Fall 2016 lineup already included celebs like Gabourey Sidibe, Ashley Graham, Candice Huffine, and Danielle Brooks as models, but this new line of activewear is featuring Henderson, yogi Jessamyn Stanley, choreographer Jessie Diaz, and basketball player and model Julie Henderson. 

Not only does this campaign show-off different shapes and sizes within the plus community, but it also promotes active bodies of different sizes. 

Many in the community are speaking up, excited about the new ads, including writer and model, Nicolette Mason: "VISIBILITY MATTERS. And so does social media pushback. THANK YOU @lanebryant for listening to us and creating this."
