カロリナ・クルコヴァさんのインスタグラム写真 - (カロリナ・クルコヴァInstagram)「...”Pregnancy made me in awe of what my body can do and endure. I’ve always wanted to document how my body was at that moment in time, but with my first two pregnancies I never felt comfortable. Twenty-one years of modeling, documenting my entire life in photographs, but I’ve never wanted to do pregnancy photos because I never felt beautiful showing my pregnancy belly. It’s sad when I think about it. I was born three months early and had surgery as an infant to repair an umbilical hernia and the inner wall of my stomach, which wasn’t closed. The result is that my belly button isn’t really a “normal” belly button. It’s more of a shallow dimple and there’s some slight scarring. It also means that when I get pregnant, I have a flat spot—my belly doesn't become perfectly round when my belly button grows, and I never wanted to show that. Throughout my career, people have retouched my belly over and over, sending the message, “That’s no good—we’re going to hide it.” They didn’t feel like it was the perfect image, and it made this tiny imperfection bigger in my head. Now we’re in a different time in the fashion industry that’s all about embracing who we are and the imperfections that make us beautiful. My third pregnancy has given me the opportunity to finally feel free in my body. “ - excerpt from my @GLAMOURmag essay. #pregnancy #bodypositive #bodyimage #confidence #lovetheskinyourein photo: @emmadelreyphotography」2月12日 1時38分
