Body Image Season 2010
In 2010, the Fashion Activism campaign continued with a new season of Body Image related posts, with the aim of "people stand up, and step out with their heads held high, and a massive smile on their face. It’s about showing that everyone has something they hate about themselves. It’s about showing that there’s so much more to body image than size." [2]
The campaign is ongoing, and has had mass international support from personalities such as Alex Roots, Doe Deere and Gala Darling, as well as other bloggers.
