Photos via V Magazine
Hello there lovelies,
I heard through the grapevine that V magazine is doing a "size" issue at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I love the editorial photoshoot of Jacquelyn Jablonksi (left), beside Crystal Renn, with both wearing the same pieces. But I have to admit that I cringe a little inside when I hear about a magazine doing a "size" issue, or a "diversity" issue. In fact, it plain pisses me off. It's not that I think these things are bad - rather, I feel that magazines should be featuring models of all shapes, sizes and races to begin with. Instead of celebrating diversity with scattered magazine features and editorials, why not celebrate it by including a wide assortment of models in every issue?
We have thin people, medium-sized people, and fat people every day of the year. We have Caucasian people, African-American people and Asian people, every day of the year. We have tall people and short people, people with crazy hair and big hips and small boobs. I can't be the only person in the world who would rather see fashion shown on a variety of different bodies, right? This V Magazine editorial does a damn good job of showing how two completely different women can make the same styles look amazing. And, if we made images of different body types, or people of a multitude of races normal, then we wouldn't need diversity issues to highlight them. I guess my point is, hats off to V Magazine for featuring different types of women in this fashion shoot - but why can't they, and other magazines do it in every issue, instead of reserving special ones for diversity?
What about you guys? What's your take on this?
Until next time, xo.
