Wardrobe Icons 'ICONversations'

Photographer Julie Adams and Laura first met 15 years ago, on the set of a shoot in London.  They have been close friends ever since and shared many life experiences, including career ups and downs, marriage and motherhood – the friends both have two girls. When Julie’s young daughters started to talk about body image, she knew she wanted to do something that would help them feel confident and happy in their skin. Her idea? A project celebrating all women, in every shape and from all walks of life, in their raw, beautiful state. In this bonus episode, recorded remotely during lockdown, Laura speaks to Julie in her hometown of Sydney about the result of that initial idea – This Is Me, the book she created with friend and journalist Georgie Abay that showcases unretouched portraits of real women in their swimwear, alongside moving stories of their journeys to body acceptance. Their candid conversation is an essential reminder that beauty lies in our individuality. Produced by Pineapple Audio Production.
