Joan Smalls

Isn't it amazing how V Magazine with 4 white males on 4 different covers was just posted and no one said anything about diversity (only mentioned how disappointed you were with how "dark" they made her) but as soon as an editorial with black and brown males is posted, you're like "where's the diversity"

Joan looks amazing in those Missoni shots. Where was it shot?

 

[fashionlover2001]

Nothing wrong with there being an editorial with black AND mixed boys. How many editorials do we see with white boys only? Please

STOP!!
Two wrongs don't make a right!!!

You don't even notice how these gimmicks are exploiting these black boys.

[Does blaxploitation ring a bell?]
I don't have to be black see what's really going on!

I complain when I see all white casts!!
So why shouldn't I complain when I see an all dark cast.

How hard is it to cast white, asian boys and even ambiguos mixed race boys?

I dislike gimmicks and segregration. Just because Joam is wearing an afro
Wig doesn't give them a pass.

I want my white and asian boys.

It's about being vocal and wanting diversity! You can't have it both ways.

SO why didn't you say anything about DIVERSITY about the V magazine cover? You complained about how dark they made her look. That's it. How are they exploiting black boys? Because Joan is wearing an Afro? So if her hair was straight with blonde highlights the. It would be ok? Please miss me with that.

"I want my white boys"

The reason being is that they photoshopped her to oblivion on the the Gucci campaign making her dark as hell and then again on V magazine. Sorry If I was preocupied with that.

And who do you think looked the worst in Gucci campaign and V Magazine thanks to Photoshop? Guess?

Read all the comment! I love my Joanie but they didnt show her in the best of light.

Sorry If i wasn't preocupied with the boys.

She did look amazing in the industrie ed.

Ok.... This discussion is over. Just bring the white, asian and other boys of colour next time, and I'll bring the drinks!

1)The reason Joan looked bad in the Gucci campaign is because her face and features were completely altered. Joan's skin sometimes looks darker, and it sometimes looks lighter. That has to do with the lighting. However, most of her photoshop 'disasters' are to do with her looking like a mannequin/having an unnatural expression.

2)Unless a mod posts that we can no longer discuss this topic, we can continue.

Please, we are all friends, there's no need for that

 

[fashionlover2001]

We are all friends. Group hug!!!!
Love you guys!! No hard Feeling. We're family

 

[valliaddict]

Ugh, you guys know there is a thread where you can discuss all of this race talk. Please use it & stop crowding Joan's thread with all of this. There's no need to talk about male models in Joan's thread.

 

[AyeBritt]

No time for condescending comments.

Anyways, I LOVE the Missoni and Industrie shots. The Gucci shots were just weird!!

So if this was shot in Turkey does that mean that there is no Vogue Turkey cover coming since it was speculated that she was shooting Vogue Turkey? Don't get me wrong I'm SOOO happy she got Missoni but I want a Vogue cover soon. I can't take it lol

 

[AyeBritt]

@firefly I agree! She definitely looked like a mannequin

 

[OllieJE]

It seems that all she need now is the American Vogue cover

Moving on...

^True!

If the rumours going around are true, the American Vogue Cover should come sooner than expected. I just hope they don't photoshop Joan into oblivion. Like an '"unaturally dark mannequin"

@fashionlover


Aw you're so bothered...Poor thing. It will get better. Go continue with your "The Darkening of Joan" campaign

 

[AyeBritt]

Here's a better image of her V Magazine cover. There's no mission to darken her lol

^ I saw that one. I like that one, my beautiful friend.

If you notice Joan's skin, although darker looks more natural. Due to the sun most likely. She was in Miami after all.

No mission here. I promise. Wink, Wink
Just love not war my dear AyeBritt!


Now come here and give me a big hug!
I promise I won't bite!

Friends to the end?

What rumors? Is Joan rumor to have a American Vogue Cover?

 

[fashionlover2001]

^I don't want to get everyone all excited, but yes it's sort of true. There might be an all models issue coming up.
The rumor is September, but it might end up being Angelina if Anna decides not to wait until October and rushes her cover to September.

Lets not hold our breath, because things change at a drop of a dime, but we're do for a model issue.


I'm hoping for a multi-cover instead of a group shot.

Anyhoo…..

I'm so happy that Joan had a decent campaign season. We all were worried that she wouldn't get anything, & here she is in her 9th season still going strong. I'm so proud of how far she has come & all that she has accomplished thus far. Keep up the good work Joanie!
