It is important for us to find models that our increasingly diverse and international customer base can relate to. We have 150 models on our books, sourced from model agencies worldwide and through street casting. We have a Model Welfare Policy in place to protect our models. It states that we will:
Our internal guidelines on digital retouching dictate that we do not artificially adjust photographs of models to change their appearance. When we retouch images, we do so to ensure the product in the image looks more like the real product, which usually involves aligning the colour more closely.
We are committed to stocking the same items in our own-label ranges at the same price, regardless of size – all of our plus-size garments cost the same as our core size items. If discrepancies are ever brought to our attention we will amend the pricing to make sure items of different sizes are offered at the same price. We also encourage other brands we stock to follow the same approach.
“ASOS is one of the few retailers that has finally figured out that size 18 girls just want to buy what all the other girls are buying.”

Since 2013, ASOS has been working with the UK's eating disorder charity Beat to provide online support services for young people who have these serious mental illnesses and their families and friends. In the last year, 7,000 people accessed this online support, which aims to reduce isolation from these lonely illnesses, encourage individuals to seek help and empower them on their way to recovery.
“I just wanted to say thank you for giving me my first experience talking to other people with eating disorders. It’s genuinely made me feel positive and enthusiastic for recovery.”
Beat online group user
ASOS partnered with the anti-bullying charity, The Diana Award, to launch the #MySenseOfSelf programme. The aim of the resource is to equip young people with the tools to challenge social and cultural attitudes towards body image, and to provide a safe environment to discuss body image issues.
