These plus-size Asian women posed in ball gowns for a breathtaking viral photo shoot to make a statement about representation

A set of body-positive photos depicting Asian women dressed in stunning ball gowns has gone viral.

Michelle Elman, an author and body-confidence coach, teamed up with photographer Linda Blacker to create photos that would show “a small sample of the diversity within Asia,” according to Elman’s Instagram page. The two shared the images on July 28, and have since received more than 34,000 likes collectively on Instagram.

INSIDER recently spoke with Elman about the photos, as well as the importance of representing diverse groups of people in the media. See the striking portraits below.

Variations do occur, these differences directly proportional to the volume of whiskey or beer consumed, as we're all aware. I experienced a particularly large dissimilitude last year ..."And that's all I have to say about that."

Well thank fuck they aren't in bikinis.
Elman also said she hoped to “demonstrate that Asian women are just as beautiful and fashionable as any other race"
That was never in doubt. Demonstrating beauty/ fashion by using a bunch of obese people in ball gowns doesn't work. The only positive thing about it is that it dispels any myth that all Asian women are svelte.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Bet most of them are from Malaysia and Singapore. The food there is terrible. Drowned in fat, giant portions, deep fried. Fat is not beautiful. Ever.

Putting a joint between the lips of a few skinny Asian chicks would have offered up a better/healthier image to promote fashionable diversity rather than trying to smuggle it in via a group unhealthy over-weight gluttonous leviathans, surely.
