"Let's celebrate *real* DiVerSitY and InCluSiviTY", says beautiful, slim, rich woman living and enjoying the freedoms of Western Democracy, travelling the world in yachts and luxury vehicles for all of her 24 thousand Instagram followers to fawn over. LOL. I can't deal with these performative and woke people anymore. The virtue signalling is so impossibly hypocritical that I can't believe people can't see through it!
"Real Diversity" means a lot more than simply beautiful and wealthy women with tens of thousands of social media followers, regardless of the colour of their skin. "Real " diversity and inclusivity would be welcoming all kinds of voices from all kinds of socio-economic levels and from all kinds of countries, something like National Geographic.
If they are going to genuinely dedicate Vogue France to inclusivity and diversity, as they so loudly and proudly declare, then I look forward to seeing genuine inclusivity and diversity in the magazine. I can't wait to see women from North Korea given a chance to contribute. Or Catholic nuns. Or immigrants living in poverty. Or enslaved women from South East Asia. Or women living and working in Sub-Saharan Africa. Or political and economic refugees.
Is this going to happen? No. Of course not. Vogue France's DiVerSitY and InCLuSiviTy mantra only extends to a very narrow group of people (Case in Point: out of the last 100 posts on Vogue France's Instagram, there were only 6 women pictured of Asian descent. There is even less visibility for South Americans, or South East Asians).
Of course Vogue France is never going to be about genuine inclusivity. How could it be? It's a magazine advertising clothing worth thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars! The raison d'être of this magazine is literally to promote a very curated and aspirational culture that excludes 90% of the population by way of economics. Why would they pretend otherwise? I don't get it. Either embrace what you are or go and work at National Geographic or TIME Magazine. Don't come to a fashion magazine and try to destroy everything it historically stood for just because you want to jump on the woke train and gain popularity points from the Twitter mob.
