Word on the street is that Vogue Italia is planning an issue with all black models shot by Steven Meisel. Kudos to them! Now, my head is bubbling with questions:
Will advertisers follow suit and start using more diverse models?
Will other issues like American Vogue bandwagon on this idea?
And is it a lil bit too much?

Why not just make a concentrated effort to add more black models throughout the magazine over the course of some issues, instead of one single issue? Because isn’t it just going to be weird? – Which goes back to my idea of Black models not really being seen as other models, but rather “novelties” and “trendy” while the white models are seen as “constants”.

Also I hope the issue is not just with pictures of Jourdan Dunn and Chanel Iman (ok does any one know if this is her real name?) because if they work just as ardently to cast black models as they do white models, they will have no shortage of diverse beautiful black women.

Anyways a big pat on the shoulder to Vogue Italia. Lets see what becomes of this. Maybe I’m just over thinking things. What do you think?

i’m upgrading the site this weekend. so bear with me if things seem a lil weird.

love JaHaute!

Yea! Yeah , Heck Yea!

I know you might be thinking whats a girl in the fashion capital (Paris) doing ordering stuff from Forever21 all the way in the US of A anyway? Well, for starters Paris is expensive and I’m cheap and Forever21 has some cool “similar aka knockoff type peices” that you just won’t find anywhere else!

So, hooray! and don’t judge or hate. Its the perfect fix when I want something cool and trendy. I don’t expect this seasons must-have trend to last me for years to come, so F21 is perfect.

Ok, so any self respecting fashion blogger will no doubt have the UK fashion blog Style Bubble blogrolled on their blog and even secretly wishing they could be as fierce,daring and still oh-so fashionably cool as Suzie Bubble.

Well, what have I just received in my Refinery 29 e-newsletter? None other than Miss Suzie Petewty telling it like it is. I heart Suzie! Suzie if you’re reading this let me know when you’re changing out your wardrobe, I’ll be the chick dumpster-diving through your garbage out front.
