Winnie Harlow Speaks On Why Diversity Should Stop Being ‘Trendy’ In Harper's Bazaar Singapore

Winnie Harlow is a model with brains and beauty on covers for Harper’s Bazaar Singapore’s May 2018 issue. And he's completely taps into his inner Grace Jones for photoshoot. You are losing the familiarity with the editorials is very clear. picture winnieb2.png photo winnieb4.png Inside, the opening lady strengthens the fashion industry by making steps toward marriage, however, she says "it still has ways to go." You see, the fashion industry seems to be seeing diversity like a trend where it's hot one second and then it's like they return to the same old thing.
“It’s really about people opening their minds, not just for a season, a trend or a show but, like, actually properly diversifying, she explains. “I’m proud of the recent changes being made in the realms of fashion and beauty. It’s amazing to be among the wave of rule breakers for diversity. I keep hearing this term ‘new norm’ but really, this was always the norm; it’s just beautiful that it’s finally coming to light.”

While we seem to be seeing more color people in front of the magazines, Winnie points to a report that the number of color people on the covers of leading American fashion publications has actually dropped in 2017 compared to 2016.
“How is it reversing rather than growing?” she says incredulously. “I feel like until the number of diverse models that are on covers is equal to the number of white girls on covers every year, we have work to do.”

“I find the reason why it sometimes goes forward and then backwards is because people are, like, ‘Okay, cool, I’m going to put a whatever model on the cover to make a difference, and then next season it’s right back to the same thing’, you know? Which isn’t diversifying; it’s like shock value, or a trend,” says the London-based model.
