A woman has taken to Twitter to congratulate online retailer ASOS for using real women as their models and not retouching pictures of their 'imperfections'.

Anna, from Antwerp in Belgium, posted the comment on Twitter saying 'thank you for keeping it real @ASOS' while she added pictures of their models.

The pictures show models in bikini's and summer clothes showing off their stretch marks, stomach rolls and birth marks.

The post had nearly 1,000 likes and hundreds of retweets, while other fans on Twitter have been sharing their love for the brands attitude to retouching too.

ASOS have said they are committed to never removing anything that’s part of who someone is, like stretch marks, scars or moles

While another revealed: 'Sometimes I'll go on the @ASOS lingerie website not even to buy anything, but just to bask in the magnificence of real, unretouched bodies like my own being celebrated and represented by a major brand. ASOS, you a real one for this.'

The online retailer even have a policy about retouching, writing on their website: 'We’re all about inspiring young people to express their best selves, and we celebrate the things that make us all unique.

'We’ll always want to bring out the best in our models, but we’re not about flawlessness or perfection.'

ASOS have also said that they never reshape people’s bodies - they said they sometimes retouch images to make sure we see products like they do

'Through our retouching policy, we commit to never removing anything that’s part of who someone is, like stretch marks, scars or moles.

'We never reshape people’s bodies. We sometimes retouch images to make sure you see products like we do and represent their colours and textures in the most accurate way.'

Last year ASOS were praised for selling clothes designed for people with disabilities. The tie-dye waterproof jumpsuit for festival season was adapted to be wheelchair friendly and designed in collaboration with GB Paralympic hopeful Chloe Ball-Hopkins.
