Lady19: Shapely Photo Book Project
We are so lucky to be living in a time where women of all shapes and sizes are being embraced, while artists are finding compelling ways to express that diversity. J William Washington (for those who read FashionBombDaily, he was one of my favorite Fashion Bombers) has teamed up with make-up artist Shayla Reed to present Lady19.
"Lady19 is a photo book project dedicated to the inspiration of shapely woman. Visually combing a lady’s grace along with the allegory of the letter S being the 19th letter in the alphabet, the project aesthetic focuses on the natural curvaceous of the female form. Voluptuous women as being the ideal body image has long been the predominate thought throughout most of history. Lady19 is a collection of images continuing that appreciation."
The photobook is still in production, and the team is accepting submissions for models. They are located in LA, but who knows if they'll be coming to a city near you! I am absolutely enthralled that there is a celebration of body appreciation happening right now. Great job JWill and Shay!
