Allure
“The Beauty of Diversity,” April 2017
Patrick Demarchelier, Photographer
"The beauty and fashion industries have been too white for too long. By celebrating a range of underrepresented skin tones on our cover, it was our hope to move the needle in the beauty world, to redefine what beauty means. It’s vital to acknowledge that there is no one definition of beauty—and here at Allure, we are overdue. The response was overwhelming: both long-time readers and women who had never connected with Allure before told us how much our April issue meant to them. The needle, in a meaningful way, had moved."
I think this cover is absolutely stunning. It is empowering and moving for women of color. This cover shows is very diverse and showcases beauty in a different way than what we are used to seeing. All three women captured in this photo are gorgeous in their own way but one thing they have in common is a look of confidence which is truly beautiful. Each one looks very strong and rather passionate when it comes to changing beauty standards. I think this magazine cover is very eye opening and displays the way beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. I think the message being conveyed through this photo is powerful and will hopefully change the way beauty and fashion industries perceive beauty.
