“Real Look” is a underwear collection inspired by seven women with distinct skin. In a creative experiment, skin 'imperfections' are presented in artistic terms, aiming to bring awareness to these imperfections and to deny the existence of perfect body standards.
The collection was created based on four aspects:
- Social equality: skin tones
- Distinctive skin defects: vitiligo, freckles, moles, pigmented spots
- Skin as a tool for self-expression: tattoos
- Humans and nature: animal patterns
Using these four aspects, photographer Laima Kavaliauskaite took pictures of seven women in nude underwear to help me see the individual skin conditions. Paying close attention to their skin, I created underwear which matches the women’s skin and the “Real Look” collection was born.
