What is the synonym for femininity ?
We don’t ask ourselves any more the question when we met Caroline Vreeland or Josephine Skriver.
Two women in tune with their sensuality.
Caroline and Josephine are beautiful because deeply connected with whom they are. Encounters…
TALK TO ME with Josephine Skriver
Josephine Skriver grew up in Copenhagen.
She had, as a teenager, no consciousness of beauty – what is beautiful, what is not, is she beautiful, all of this didn’t touch her, these considerations didn’t exist in her universe, whereas she possesses, on the other hand, an important consciousness of the size.
For a good reason : she was for a long time a tiny girl, “the tiny one”, the smallest of her group of friends, before growing suddenly, and in her late teens, like a character of tale, to become very, very tall. Her biggest interest is football. She is a real tomboy. Moreover she had very short hair. It is necessary to say that her mother doesn’t cultivate particularly the femininity, she is a tomboy as well – says Joséphine. Her family is not really traditional: her parents are both gay and very open about it.
Add to it that it is a Danish family, people renowned for open-mindedness and tolerance. So, Joséphine is an extremely opened being, endowed with a real empathy and a sympathy for minorities, wherever they come from or who they are. It does not incline her to the femininity nor to the sensuality that strikes anyone looking at pictures of her.
She got noticed during a sports trip in New York. A scout suggests her to be a model – no way she said. She had no interest in this. But fate is stubborn, and everywhere where she goes, scouts of models’ agencies notice it again and again and approach her. No, she always said no. Until she told herself that there might be something there. Considering the possibility to make some money – of being so made of the pocket money – what teenage would be reluctant to it – she accepted. Very curious by nature, Joséphine enjoys discovering a world of which she ignored everything. She is immediately appreciated. It gives her more confidence in herself. She confides a feminine body, becomes aware of her femininity, and shooting after shooting, the photographers, stylists, make up artists teach her, according to her own words,
“to feel sexy”
and to completely pick up her feminine identity. It is thrilling, and it is powerful.
For her, the body reflects the interiority. Believer, and a fervent one, she is grateful for the body that God gave her, who makes whom she is. But this femininity did not remove her one ounce of her personality, and she feels free, completely free to be herself, i.e. to continue to express, off the shootings, her tomboy side. The neither isn’t in opposition with each other, they are both complementary facets of whom she is.
“I am a free spirit.”
She is interested in all kinds of religions, likes the difference in individuals, and even, to woo it. She remains fascinated by all which makes an individual what he/she is, and by what gives him/her his/her confidence.
“It can be new jeans, or walk stark naked, or another way of making up. What gives confidence to people is always something different, specific in each.”
And she insists on the relativity of the beauty. According to cultures, countries, criteria of beauty are different, even absolutely brought into conflict. Here a very thin woman, there unlike very generous forms, curves.
“To be a plump woman, generous, it means in certain cultures well to eat, that is to be prosperous, and that’s what there low is the most attractive.”
Before adding,
“the important, it is to be satisfied with oneself, if we love ourselves, we are beautiful.”
