16. "Beauty standards always hit hardest at home. Relatives and family parties especially. I remember being told I was fat by parents and relatives as early as 6 years old. It's super weird to think about. It definitely skewed my body image a lot when I was 10-12, being praised whenever I lost weight and being mocked by relatives whenever I gained it."

"By the time I was in high school, they'd gotten really bad; I was skipping meals, binging and purging, buying packs of gum after purging to hide the breath. I only really stopped when I had a strong, supportive friend group in college, which was really good for my mental health. For the most part, I stopped. I only relapsed with purging once my freshman year and once my junior year. Even then, it's always kind of a struggle to keep checking in with yourself and make sure you treat yourself with respect."

'Groups such as the entertainment industry, media conglomerates and companies producing whitening products have poured billions of dollars into creating one very false, hierarchical & racist image: that fair skin is the only type of worthy skin.'

'This image has trickled down and seeped into the mindsets of people so much so that the majority doesn't realize that they're buying into an ideology that directly feeds their own oppression.'

'The entire beauty industry is built on the idea that we need beauty to have power or to feel empowered.'

'The beauty trends are always changing. But there's one thing that will forever remain the same. It's that these standards are impossible, unattainable and unrealistic.'

Some - as in some seeming white supremacists - praised the ad. There are tweets like this one, that reads, "Nivea has chosen our side and the most liked comments are glorious," alongside images of Pepe the Frog, a meme that recently became co-opted as a hate symbol.

Because of all the backlash, Nivea quickly pulled the ad. Both the Nivea UK and Nivea USA Twitter accounts have been replying to people apologizing, plus a spokesperson for Nivea's parent company, Beiersdorf Global AG, issued a statement to the Washington Post.

"That image was inappropriate and not reflective of our values as a company. We deeply apologize for that and have removed the post," the statement reads. "Diversity and inclusivity are crucial values of NIVEA. We take pride in creating products that promote beauty in all forms. Discrimination of any kind is simply not acceptable to us as a company, as employees, or as individuals."

The 'models are changing the face of fashion' means that the magazine aims at bringing a new perspective to the industry. The goal could be to promote inclusivity in fashion. The magazine cover is a platform used to address an important social and political issue. It could help young girls to feel more confident in their own skin. Promoting difference could help people to be themselves without feeling the pressure to conform to a beauty standard.

# data[].attributes.body
On the first picture there is no diversity because women used to conform to one single beauty standard (being White, slender, tall, thin, slim, blond-haired), in opposition to the second picture on which women represent several beauty criteria (black-skinned, light-skinned). In the thirties, models looked like pin-ups (e.g. Marilyn Monroe). The second picture shows some kind of evolution, a wind of change. On the second picture there are slim and 'plus-size' women, contrary to the first picture. On the most recent picture, we can more inclusivity contrary to the first picture. On the picture, the models are wearing sashes across their chests. On the first picture, they are wearing swimsuits/bathing suits in opposition to the second picture on which the models are wearing overalls, dresses, vests, trousers, belts and jewels (golden bracelets, large hoop earrings, rings, chains, necklaces). The first picture was about building one single beauty standard in the 30s contrary to the second picture which aims at destroying it nowadays. The aim is to build 'new frontiers', to destroy old ideas to build new ones. On the first picture the models have bare legs which it typical of beauty contests. They are probably parading for a jury composed of men (which reminds us of the male gaze). On the second picture, the models are looking at the photographer (either man or woman) and at us. Women used to be considered as objects. On the second picture, the models are staring at us, they look strong, confident, elegant, brave/courageous. On the first picture, they look superficial, similar. They look like clones, out of reality, not realistic, unrealistic, idealistic, out of reach.

Comment this short extract from the novel Brick Lane (2004) by Monica Ali.

« I’m talking about the clash between Western values and our own. I’m talking about the struggle to assimilate and the need to preserve one’s identity and heritage. I’m talking about children who don’t know what their identity is. I’m talking about the feelings of alienation engendered by a society where racism is prevalent. I’m talking about the terrific strug- gle to preserve one’s sanity while striving to achieve the best for one’s family. »

This photograph introduces us to a text on a mirror in the toilets of a university. The text talks about 'socially constructed ideas of beauty'. The warning concerns students because they're young and may be fragile, easily influenced or having complexes. The beauty criteria mentioned could be height, weight, eyes and skin colour, morphology. On the photograph, we can see someone taking a picture: it must be a student (girl, boy, non-binary). This person must have taken the picture to send a message of self-love, joy and reassurance to people on social media all around the world.
