The Shape Issue 2014: Our Bodies, Ourselves

It's that time of the month...the Vogue fashion spread for the month of April.  The concept for this month is: "Our Bodies, Ourselves."  This concept addresses how discomforting and cruel fashion can be to women.  As the old saying goes, "pain is beauty," and boy do us females know it.

For April, Vogue dictates that we momentarily disregard that aspect of fashion and relax.  The bold phrases on this page include: "letting down its hair," "a few deep breaths of April air," "easier, looser silhouettes," "at-ease pieces," and "a softer kind of sophistication."  This suggests that the lines for this month are going to be loose, breezy, and comfortable.  Fashion is not used to taking this form, but it is a relief for women everywhere.  Vogue requests that we do one thing this month: love our bodies, and furthermore, love ourselves.  Embrace your own beauty and let your clothing do the talking.
