When we told Teen Vogue we wanted them to show real diversity and stop altering the faces and bodies of their models, they sent us away with an admonishment to “do our homework.” Well, we did—and here it is: in the September 2012 issue of Teen Vogue, there were 123 images of thin white women, and only 37 non-thin women or women of color. And that’s with Selena Gomez on the cover!
All this week we’ll be showing you our “homework assignments,” and we encourage you to join in by creating your own videos and images and letting Teen Vogue know that magazines that only feature thin, white, impossibly retouched women are definitely NOT the cutting edge of fashion, and that teen girls deserve better.
