    Oxford University has a female rugby team and for their 2016 calendar, they abandoned their uniforms in an effort to stand up in support of people with eating disorders.

    The calendar features stunning black and white photographs of the team in action, designed “to promote a positive image of women and the beauty of the athletic body.” A percentage of the profits will go to Beat, an association that aims to combat eating disorders.

    Dressed in nothing but socks and shoes, the girls are photographed doing their typical rugby positions, scrums and tackles.

    The shoot was fun for the whole team, and the fact that we’re working together to do something for our club and collect money for charity gave us all the courage we needed to take on a chilly October afternoon without clothes on. The photoshoot took a long time because we wanted the rugby positions to be perfect, technically.

    The calendar shoot was great fun for the whole squad. Not only was it a great team building exercise but knowing we were raising money for our club and for such an amazing charity spurred us all on the brave the chilly October afternoon. The shoot did take some time. We wanted the photographs to be technically accurate from a rugby point of view, in addition to underpinning the important messages we want to spread.

    It’s pretty cool that women are taking the power to be nude back into their own hands – just like with the Pirelli calendar we checked out yesterday. Not your thing? Well, you’re probably not ours either.
