Asda’s in-house fashion brand George has been praised for showing ‘real women’ after it shared an image of a lingerie model with visible stretchmarks across her stomach and thighs.
The supermarket fashion label posted the close-up photograph of body-empowerment influencer, model and mum-of-two Brunna Teixeira on Instagram with the caption: “There’s just something special about a matching set.”
George @ Asda’s Instagram account – which is followed by more than 705,00 people – has been promoting its lingerie range in the run-up to Valentine’s Day. All of the underwear posts have featured body-positive models and influencers, such as Cardiff-based YouTuber Michelle Naylaa and content creator Katie Budenberg, who campaigns against diet culture.
