PrettyLittleThing has been praised after unveiling a new fashion campaign shot during the coronavirus pandemic. 
The UK-based online retailer has updated its website with photos of models posing on remote sandy beaches in Australia for their 'EveryBODYinPLT' campaign, which was shot using drones because of ongoing social distancing guidelines.
During the shoot, the crew, hair and makeup teams wore face masks and the models were shot individually in isolated areas amid the coronavirus pandemic.  
Social media users have been left gushing over the stunning campaign, with one commenting: 'This video is really breathtaking. Amazing.'

PrettyLittleThing, who usually works with models and influencers from across the globe, partnered with Australia based creative agency Komodo, to achieve their desired look. 
Komodo has previously worked on fashion campaigns with brands including Boohoo, Missguided and New Look.  

The brand revealed they chose Australia for the campaign because they want to encourage international tourists to visit once travel restrictions are lifted.  
The images were captured in and around New South Wales using some of Australia's best known influencers including Samantha Rayner, Kaela Tavares, Ashleigh Menin, Ariella Nyssa, Vakoo and Bruna Lapinskas.

Each of the girls were shot individually in Port Stephens, Stockton Sand Dunes and Sydney's Carriageworks.
A video made to support the images starts on one of Australia's famous white sandy beaches, with sweeping drone shots of beautiful scenery, before heading to the sprawling sand dunes and finally landing in industrial Sydney. 
CEO and Founder of PrettyLittleThing, Umar Kamani, explained the campaign is about celebrating feeling good in your own body.
He said: 'I am really excited to be launching this campaign with We Are Komodo.

'In light of the Covid crisis we as a brand have had to adapt to new ways of working and for myself and our team to be the first fast fashion retailer to shoot solely on a drone proves why PrettyLittleThing are always at the forefront of the industry.  
'Our EveryBODYinPLT campaign has been extremely successful since launching in 2018 and we are proud to be working with some incredible talent and showcasing different sizes and ethnicities in this global campaign. 
'We want everyone to feel good in their own skin and bodies, to feel confident and empowered no matter your shape, size, ethnicity or status.
'The models and Komodo team have been fantastic to work with and given the social distancing restrictions being relaxed in Australia before anywhere else this was the perfect setting for us.
