The modeling industry might be notorious for its narrow vision of beauty, but now that we’re in 2023, you might think that brands have become a little more forward-thinking regarding body positivity and over-editing photos. Unfortunately, as one model and content creator discovered, not all brands are willing to jump on the “no filter” train just yet.
Mahala Preudhomme (@hala_thehustler) is a plus-size model, content creator, influencer, artist, and small business owner who has worked with a number of fashion and lingerie brands like Amazon Fashion, Savage X Fenty, Shein, Able, and Stitch Fix among others. She has over 67,900 cumulative followers across Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.
Following a shoot with an undisclosed brand, she took to Twitter to share the difference between an edited and un-edited photo of her, writing, “How I really look vs what the brand uploaded.”
