The retro pin-up style which stems back to the time of World War I is back. Popularized by the likes of Marilyn Monroe and icon Bettie Page, the pin-up look continues to defy conventional beauty norms. In Arizona, I met a group of confident women representing the new generation of pin-up girls. They come in all shapes and sizes but are all united by one objective: celebrating women’s identity and embracing their bodies.
