Today we are focusing on two celebrities.
The first one is named Vlasta Delimar and is a Croatian visual and performance artist. She became famous in the late 70’s and 80’s for her naked performances. Controversial for some, she deliberately used her body to shattered the existing and accepting standard of feminity. She is now recognized as a ‘’proue’’(is it french or a word i don’t know in english?) figures of the Croatian body arts.
The second one is named Jameela Jamil, she is a famous English, actress, and activist.She is particularly known for promoting the movement body positive, and is actively present on the social media. This movement appeared in the US, in the late 90’s, and became recently worldwide. Today, famous brands and celebrities are promoting body acceptance and diversity, breaking with the traditional image of women in fashion (thin, tall, white models).
But, it should not be forgotten that some brands are not celebrating women diversity because of their beliefs, but are only using the popularity of the movement to increase their profits.
So do not forget that progress can still be made!

Danas ćemo se fokusirati na dvije poznate ličnosti :
Prva se zove Vlasta Delimar i ona je hrvatska vizualna I performativna umjetnica. Postala je slavna 70ih i 80ih godina svojim nagim performansima. Kontroverzna za neke, s namjernom je koristila vlastito tijelo za razbijanje postojećih i prihvaćenih standarda ženstvenosti. Danas je priznata kao jedna od centralnih ličnosti hrvatskog Body art-a.
Druga se zove Jameela Jamil, ona je poznata engleska glumica i aktivistica. Osobito je poznata radi promoviranja pokreta ”body positive” i aktivno je prisutna na društvenim mrežama. Ovaj pokret pojavio se u Americi kasnih 90ih te je nedavno postao poznat diljem svijeta. Danas mnogi poznati brendovi i slavne ličnosti promoviraju prihvaćanje i raznovrsnost tijela koji su u neskladu s tradicionalnim imaginarijima žena u modnoj industriji (mršavi, visoki, bijeli modeli). No, ne treba zaboraviti da mnoge modne kuće ne slave žensku raznolikost radi svojih uvjerenja već koriste popularnost pokreta kako bi povećali profit.
Stoga ne zaboravite da se napredak još uvijek može postići!
