The European standard of beauty has become so much an axiom that black beauty is nearly lost in translation for good. I see people searching new beauty for black models and black beauty constantly new beauty on search new beauty engines and the likes and coming up short with a few they can count on one hand. That could change.
Of course, black women are beautiful on or off a magazine, on or off a catwalk, whatever and wherever . I think the problem is relying too much on main stream to get ourselves out there when we can BE main-stream.
Why is it that almost every time I see a beautiful spread in a magazine featuring a model , it s in white mainstream media? new beauty -Do blacks not have the same ability? Of course they do, that was a rhetorical question. It s well known that most of the people who bought the Italian EnVogue magazine were black, and it sold well . Blacks support blacks period especially in incipient business ventures . If things are done right and professionally with class etc .support will double , and maybe even come in unlikely new beauty places, because it will not be about the fact that they are black owned but that their work wreaks new beauty quality .
Here are some of the pictures from the all-black Italia Vogue: From Left to right (Alek Wek, Arlenis Sosa, Iman, Karen Alexander, Naomi Campbell, Noemie Lenoir, (2)Toccara Jones, (3) Tyra Banks, new beauty Ubah)
Between the continent of Africa and the other majority black countries who are having similar issues of black model’s not getting work we could ubiquitously take the world by storm because there are some undeniably beautiful black women out there; that s veracity . Where are the black photographers and the black modeling agencies? Hiding ? I am not talking about those photographers that do borderline porn; I m talking professionals .
I know Ebony and the likes have modeling agencies and there are plenty of blacks who have their own clothing line, some not so well known but classier than those that are well known , and that is an issue they are not put out there. If Ebony along with other more recognized black modeling agencies monopolized around the world made this not just an African American thing but a Caribbean thing, and African thing a black thing , I really think the potential of this is prodigious .
That gives more diversity , more exotic looks, more style , and flare . That makes the problem of not being well known obsolete and a broader audience new beauty to which one can appeal. When white, main stream starts noticing a decline in their sales, which means their avarice is not satisfied I assure you they will take notice but by then, they will not be an issue, merely a side note .
Where I live (North London, UK) there are so many gorgeous new beauty girls who could make a career new beauty in modelling if they wanted to, given the opportunity. I live in one of the most ethnically diverse areas of Europe so a modelling agency would only need to set up here to succeed.
