I’ve always wanted to work with an all-female shoot and this felt like the perfect opportunity, positioning this solidly with the brand identity of Refinery29. When initially seeking an all female crew we approached some of the largest agencies in London and predictively was sent lists of male crew. To get women, we had to ask for women! and when we began asking, a whole world opened up, women are everywhere in this industry, they are just a little harder to find. We need to get to a place where women are put first and when seeking recommendations from agencies, women will be (by default) included in these lists and not just an afterthought.

Together with Braun we wanted to switch up the body care category and instead speak to three women about why they personally decide to remove some of their body hair and what it means to them, and only them - spoiler, they don't do it to attract a dude! We interviewed activist and writer, Paris Lees on how it can shape identity for trans women, our beauty editor on life with PCOS and a model and actress on how she lost all her confidence after coming off the contraceptive pill had adverse side effects. The video and onsite feature was translated and seeded out in France, Italy and Germany: https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/body-hair-removal-women
