The reason this article stood out to me was because usually when you look through a fashion magazine all of the models start to look the same. Very thin white women with "striking" features. What really struck me was when I turned the page and saw a bigger girl with tattoos, piercings and pink hair, then I turned to page and saw an Asian woman. Diversity was the first word that came to mind. I would have never imagined seeing this in a magazine like Vogue where they feature brands like Chanel, Prada and Burberry. I thought it was such a great idea for them to put it in. I know I feel a little insecure while looking at all of these perfectly photo shopped models in the ads, yet seeing someone who looked average, like someone you could see on the street almost gave me some hope that maybe our ideals of beauty can be changed. I mean although this girl may not be societies ideal of beautiful, I thought she was. Nice job Diesel!

I really like looking at this kind of fashion. It's good to see such reputable magazines like Vogue branching out by featuring individuality. I think a lot of girls will feel better looking at magazines where everyone isn't so "perfect".
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that this small of a variation of model in a fashion magazine is so noticeable. These are so much more interesting to look at than another cookie-cutter woman with the same hair cut, wearing the same outfit.
