Fashion magazines use models that are skinny, this is a huge debate that I will not touch on right now (or ever in this blog bc this is not a fashion blog)...<BR/> <BR/>What I will say though, as I point out in a lot of posts, you have to start somewhere...Trace promotes up and coming fashion models, artists and other creative types focusing on all ethnicities and continually featuring models of color. It is very rare to find a fashion magazine that challenges the set standard of beauty in the fashion world. See Bethann Hardisons article on, "the ongoing revolution within the fashion industry" <BR/>I made the post "a fun read" to celebrate a magazine featuring beautiful women of color and an amazing photographer who actually does touch on the topic of "is skinny the perfect body type etc.." in his article. Check it out...<BR/>I am elaborating so much on the above comment because I think it is a good point and I know many people will have the same thoughts while skimming the post "true beauty" (note the quotations).

Having skimmed Trace Magazine's website, I noticed that all their models are still skinny, and therefore promoting an unrealistic standard of beauty. I am somewhat surprised that for all the good you yourself do to promote wellness and self-care that you would, in turn, promote a magazine that portrays thinness as The Standard of beauty.Gillianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09010346617907740675noreply@blogger.com
