Notting Hill Carnival presents a space where body positivity thrives and people can be themselves unapologetically. Stylist speaks to two women about their carnival experiences and how wider society could learn a thing or two.
“With that, I grew up seeing so much body liberation, particularly at carnival with women proudly showing off their bodies. I’m almost certain it had a positive impact on me and I grew up always feeling comfortable wearing whatever I felt like,” she adds. “Sometimes I feel like carnival doesn’t leave much room to be insecure about your. Everybody is so busy having a good time that I’ve never experienced any body shaming of any sort.
“Thinking back on my experiences as a child, I think Notting Hill Carnival was the first real massive cultural experience I had to help me identify who I am as awoman. It helped me understand where I came from and also allowed me to see women of all shapes and sizes playing mas [dressing up in costume during carnival].”
Seeing women of all sizes in their carnival garb is a beautiful sight. Jewelled tones bouncing off various shades of brown skin, headdresses standing taller than ever, and gems and sequins lighting up the streets of west London is something I can never get enough of seeing – and to see women wearing it while free from judgmental eyes is an important reminder that our bodies exist for ourselves.
