Aerie Teamed Up With the Special Olympics for Their New Campaign, and the Photos Are Beautiful

By now, most fans of Aerie know that they’re all about being real. The brand stopped retouching photos in 2014, and continues to create inclusive campaigns and feature diversity—including body type—in their models and #AerieREAL role models. Most recently, Aerie teamed up with the Special Olympics for their newest campaign, and the photos are beyond beautiful. Aerie role models Iskra Lawrence and Aly Raisman joined up with seven Special Olympic Athletes to not only express their real selves, but also to give the world a preview of Aerie’s Fall 2019 collection. Lawrence, Raisman and the seven athletes participated in a photoshoot for the new collection, and the photos will be used in both stores and online to promote the line—and the Special Olympics “Revolution Is Inclusive” campaign.
