Beauty-full stories
Beauty-full stories are stories told through beauty. Here we have 5 amazing women with different backgrounds. All beautiful and vibrant, yet oh so different and unique in their own way. Proko and Penka creative director and photographer worked together with Céline Maes from Mae Mua. A collaboration to experiment and explore how different we in fact are and how beautiful that is. At the end of the day beauty norms differ from our culture, but also to what we consider beauty ourselves. It isn’t about being perfect. It is about being yourself and truly feeling good in your own skin, having the self confidence and liking as accepting what you see in the mirror.
In X-Tina's words:
“You are beautiful no matter what they say. Words can't bring you down, oh no. You are beautiful in every single way”.
Let’s repeat that with an “I” …
