# Bootylicious Swimwear Shoots 'Sailor Girl' by Jose Ferreira Challenges the Pin-Thin Model Paradigm By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2010-05-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sailor-girl-by-jose-ferreira References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/sailor-girl/526939) & [joseferreira-photographer](http://www.joseferreira-photographer.com/) 'Sailor Girl' by Jose Ferreira is a breath of fresh air right on time for Memorial Day festivities. The super-curvaceous model rocks a [one-piece swimsuit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-sustainable-swimwear) while lounging on a boat, and I can't imagine a hotter way to ring in summer. Challenging the [pin-thin model paradigm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torrid-jeans-for-life) we've seen so much of lately, 'Sailor Girl' by Jose Ferreira offers [bootylicious girls a swimwear shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaping-swimwear) to aspire to. See the full smokin' shoot above. **Implications** - **No more "with that being said." It's just filler. :) With that being said, this kind of challenge to the typical pin-thin model stereotype is certainly a positive step that the fashion industry is taking to combat eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia. I love Jose Ferreira's work on this Sailor Girl shoot! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Body-positive Swimwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and market swimwear that celebrates diverse body types, challenging the traditional pin-thin model aesthetic. - **Inclusive Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create fashion photoshoots that feature models of various sizes and shapes, promoting body positivity and inclusivity. - **Celebrating Natural Curves:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop clothing lines that embrace and accentuate natural curves, inspiring confidence and empowering individuals to embrace their unique body shapes. ### Where This Applies - **Swimwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce size-inclusive swimwear lines that cater to a wider range of body types, challenging the conventional notions of beauty and body stereotypes. - **Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Encourage fashion photographers to showcase models of different sizes and shapes, promoting diversity and inclusivity in the industry. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design clothing that accommodates and celebrates natural curves, offering inclusive and empowering options for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Beach-Ready Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-swim-collection.md) - [Print-Focused Swim Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta.md) - [Bespoke Swimwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathing-belle-swimwear.md) - [Community-Driven Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitless-campaign.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Swimwear Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformations-second-swim-drop.md) - [Sustainable Statement Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalia.md) - [Versatile Sleek Swimwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dandy-del-mar.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Post-Surgery Friendly Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prettylittlething-and-girlvscancer.md)
