Fashion’s body-positive movement has gained traction with a series of inclusive campaigns, runway shows, and new collections that rolled out in the last year.

All you have to do is take a look at the campaign images filled with a diverse lineup of bright, beautiful women to feel its effects. Go on, keep reading to get inspired.
