and how stocks have you yet come and had seen the whole belt and made the money to . diversity is also becoming a big deal in the fashion business on the catwalk strict sizes and pro potions to still prevail but the inclusion of models with diverse gender identities is in stereotypes out for instance a goldstein a model with down syndrome is often booked for photo shoots agencies with a focus on the versity a shaking up the industry they have a d. is a great example. british talent agency specializes in diverse models with disabilities alternative appearances and trans non-binary. it wants to increase the visibility of these models in the media and to the world

of fashion. that would be the goal is to see like 20 percent of all. commercial she is all you know using somebody who has a disability not just in front of the camera but behind the camera or the creative you know this is a true representation of society. launched the agency with her sister in law laura john 2017 they were disappointed by the lack of diversity in the industry today has a roster of over 500 talents in london new york and los angeles. 8 goal was to see a baby with a disability i'm not the packaging and. we didn't think that was going to be achievable and my idea was going to be.

in 2020 ellie goldstein featured in a gucci beauty campaign her picture garnered almost 900000 likes on instagram making it the france most popular instagram post ever. the sought after 19 year old model has down syndrome. i think when i see my so i'm like this. is me on your way home. because but. everything. ellie knows she's a role model for other people with disabilities. they can't pay me m.r. doerr but may also they could be that i close it and. i'd see that you. represent a whole host of different models. it

was important to me that i signed with. interest and cared about representing diversity and. representing us and allowing us to be authentic i would say the media is very much like. the jump on to a trend right now is a trend. so we'll see how long it lasts we will say because obviously there's a life long conditions whatever we have lacked the quote remember those lots of little boys and girls. you know they need to see this for their own bring in their own mental health. the agency has made a name for itself with many major brands now hiring its models. zoe proctor hopes her agency will help promote greater diversity and awareness in the

world. the more we do the the greater impact that will have changing people's opinions. i think we've still got a long way to go i mean we still feel at the bottom of the mountain go we go. but progress is being made one photo shoot at a time because diversity is divine. but like all big cities has its good and of course best sights the city can be dirty and i'm friendly but one positive thing you can definitely say is lin has always been the perfect place for those. bit different people can generally be who they are you straightly artist heifetz has also had that experience not having to decide between being a man or woman is a freedom that can always be taken for granted. roee

victoria is an israeli artist who lives and works of berlin. born in 197842 year old opposes pigeonholing. people want to put in a one. and i can understand i think also in my brain i wish to you know to wake up one morning and to say yes i am a woman or yes i am a man it never happened to me it is a fight it is a battle but at the same time i think one of my goal is also to celebrate. artworks often depict old women. whose bodies and faces have been rendered invisible by society. or pictures hi-lo to a certain tension between the body and soul.

of the body and the way you feel the tension between the identity and the body itself it's something that i feel inside of me also it's about questions about the gender i. also. feel about my body and. when i look at this those women and those women i feel that there is a lot of tension between down and the way they feel. growing who studied art in boston in jerusalem knows this tension will. for a large part of her life she's been mulling questions of self identity. i just heard something is missing i didn't know what it is so i don't think that i hate it. i just i didn't. some points. the age of

30. that i need to explore i need to go into this journey of exploration but she was hesitant to express her female side into she moved to berlin and 2012 here through expressive artworks finally received critical acclaim and it was here to the truly victoria haifa's begin to sure sell for between as a. kind of a mystery as for gender fluidity since their twenty's of the last century it's a new edition city that. makes me feel more safe to try. so it was a kind of intuitions that i knew that i will be able to do it here. really began hormone transition therapy but chose not to undergo sex reassignment surgery. adopting from middle name victoria. as gender fluid. wearing dresses

has made through the targets of verbal and physical abuse a grim reality many trans people know too well. while we are transitioning we are very also very visible. it's not so easy to be visible and at the same time to transition and so we are very much exposed to violence on the street. really soon came to recognize the privileges she would enjoyed as a male artist as a gender food person just because more difficult. rai's artworks are currently on display at berlin's full as museum as part of the exhibition intimacy . once founded to document the amounts of kotori struggle and art of the museum today focuses on the day for. city of sexual identities and

concepts of. artwork. centers on her relationship with. the trans it's with myself and i. always try to reflect in my own drawings because also. big papers and. it's. front. paper it's like creating a kind of a dance with myself where the drawing by. the . question.

is what makes them so powerful. and today's show is diversity and that also stands for cultural diversity and right before the show my hand was turned into a work of art the practice of. originates from indian and asian regions and dates back as far as ancient egypt they were traditionally used for celebrations and rites of passage these days the peasants are also simply painted on. one hand an artist in london would like to see become something for everyone. and i chatted with a modern twist. the art of painting bodies with henna paste goes back to antiquity today it's become a veritable fashion trend. pavane donjon runs london's has

a bar where anyone can get their body painted. for me it's all about empowering it's all about the experience to express yourself no matter what your background is no matter what your personality is you know some people like full big lavish designs some people like very small designs discreet designs and i think it's an expression of yourself and that's what we're all here for we're here to enjoy all sorts of cultures the world is small and now. have the tattoos are created using a paste made from a certain plant typical head of patterns and designs are painted onto the skin with this dye which stains the skin and slowly fades after about 10 days. so when a design means a lot for me because growing up we used to have designs especially on at weddings for us it holds true significance for spacious occasions but for me while i was

growing up i thought it would be amazing to share this with everyone and not just have it for weddings so my name has always been to make it accessible for everybody but not everyone welcomes this something we westerners wearing cannot tattoos are engaging in cultural appropriation knowing little to nothing about the roots of this art. for me i feel like if someone's wearing a head and they're wearing it with sincerity and they really enjoying wearing it then there's absolutely not nothing wrong i feel like if someone was going to wear it just to ridicule it they wouldn't go through the hassle of wearing it on the skin for 10 days so that obviously appreciated they obviously love it and that makes me feel good. hard on don giles indian parents immigrated to britain in the $970.00 she is london born and raised. britain has a vibrant indian community. it's britain's largest ethnic minority.

so. it was so busy full of women full of strong women. also to head. off treatments that one available on the high street and i was always fascinated by this but i just got really hooked on to the hannah. and thought that would be amazing to offer to everybody. had their tattoos originated in north africa the arab. world. so years instead trees ago used to be used to cool down the skin so they used to crush up in the make it into the place add with water and put it in the hands and the palms of the feet and used to cool you down but over the years it became decorative. just because it's color so full of make up. pop stars like riana and u.s. icon madonna helped popularize had tattoos since the $990.00 s. . many celebrities have hired pavane to get similarly unique tattoos.

the 36 year old whose bar is the least in london just department store is revolutionizing this art form. she experiments with new colors offers do it yourself for home use and even makes neon hannah designs. even though this fancy effect wears off after 24 hours. so i think the traditional ways be they're always. considered a modern brand but my roots lie with the tradition that's where it came from and. so i think as long as the tradition is always on and people know where it came from . and where its origins are from then there's no harm in bringing it to the future . whether to. additional or more modern hannah designs this glorious art is

definitely an expression of cultural diversity. women who conquer made them against that is not a new topic but unfortunately made do still exist for example in the world of gastronomic among hundreds of star shifts in germany there are just 14 who are women one of them is you come let's find out more about her and her all women scene and what they have to say about gender diversity and that business. one restaurant and 3 women collaborating to turn out top flight experiences star chef company heads to kitchen on a crutch is a pastry chef and captain of germany's national cooking team and celine seiko is deputy chef. the look ship and restaurant in cologne western germany at the

helm is one of the few women to break every last glass ceiling in german gastronomically circles it's been 5 years since the now 32 year old duty accomplished earned her 1st michel and star and became germany's youngest ever starred chef. it has nothing to do with being a man or a woman but with ability strength and being your own person. and yet of germany's total $310.00 star chefs only 14 women. make cooking is still very much a male to mean it's the now it's because women naturally have children and then put their jobs or career on the backburner for a while i. think i think lots of talented women simply decide they want a normal life with a partner and children. and it's very difficult to put it all together. the older you get and the farther you get in your career or you'd like to go the

less likely you are to stick it through also with me. even so you know cope puts your faith in women. in charge of desserts for the locks open is an across the job is a dream come true for her but she still wonders if it wouldn't be better if she took over running her parents' farm. it's a really difficult question for me. i know that i want a family life and also that i don't want to be working in the kitchen anymore when it comes so that raises. question of how i can bring everything together because on the one hand this is my thing this is what i really enjoy doing where i can let my creativity run free. here on the other hand i do think it'd be hard to combine it all. the working atmosphere in the kitchen can also be challenging.

their general tone isn't always friendly even if it's nothing personal but purely work related i've always been lucky in that regard i've never worked in a kitchen where it got really bad. but kitchens like that do exist and i know of some where girls in particular often don't have a very nice day at work in their kitchens. so both these 3 women take care to keep the tone civil and their tent of to one another's needs your comp and celine psycho have been friends since their training and they like to travel with an across the hall and $29.00 teams using a compound product a political and real world term. knew she would think regions all around the globe so i was very pleased to see that especially in asia you find many many women in the kitchen sometimes it was really 5050 men and women or in a restaurant there might even be more women than men that's something very special and it made me happy to see her experiences made

a deep impression. on familiar spices under gradients have inspired her to create new dishes under new cookbook even to do to pictures the top shelf picked a woman photographer melanie bower as a mother to a little daughter melanie too has to balance family and profession on a daily basis. usually a range of the dish and it works as it stands and a man might have less playful arrangements more rough if you will. so i'm glad you leo's plates aren't like that. but can you really taste the difference between a dish for. heard by a woman on one fixed by a man. know there are men who can cook fantastic and enchanting dishes just as there are women who do but i do think you can make out a feminine touch in the dishes. i've heard myself that are cuisine tends to be pretty feminine. but she's not out to dispense with men in order to completely

make it better with men when you tell them off afterwards it's over and forgotten but women might take it to heart they take things more personally that's why and even balance of men in women is the best solution for a larger team and the best of. her team will soon be welcoming the new addition once again a woman. as this only should be in church before and. so now from a maiden name to a female domain flamenco dancing for a long time it was soley women with its body hugging roughly dresses and flowery hair on a man's the musicians were male the dancers female but that's changing from spain lives for flamenco he she wants to challenge the shop division between male and female. flamenco is femininity in its purest form and

that's how standish dancer and choreographer manuel lin yun sees it even if the 7 flamenco dresses in his current show. are worn by men. you know what. i mean to me dance is a language with no boundaries. one that follows my feelings under louis going to express himself. to me it's an honest language and we wanted the. money well in the back exultant freedom of movement and expression he and his mail on sampled break down the strict gender roles of traditional flamenco. he wrote and choreographed the show himself he deals with the dancers childhood and the way he as a boy dancing in women's clothes was ostracized. so you're going to see that when i was little everyone made fun of me i felt as if i

wasn't living up to the role that society expected of me so i locked myself away in my room. which was there in this little room to thank you for my imagination free range i mean very i could dress up to not be free in ways that the don't need to me has a mind inside the world. oh manuel when young is widely regarded as one of the world's best flamenco dancers on stage today. even before his training he performed with some of the country's foremost ensembles flamenco originated in spain's under lucio community in the 19th century it's characterized by flamboyant but figure hugging dresses the dance also counts as an integral part of the end allusion identity even so well. the neon sees no need for it to be bound to tradition. you know one of the.

i think the positive aspects from uncle has to offer are its diversity and varying perspectives. it can be traditional classical and current and that's how it ought to be. because every interpreter if we don't serve male or female has to only starting point and viewpoint if you've got the. money well yawn explores himself through flamenco and constantly finds new interpretations in his ballet they are taught or authors dance in 2018 he conjured up dream worlds on stage like a magician and spirited the audience away on a journey through his subconscious. he's gained acclaim for deliberately breaking with gender roles and provoking audiences and critics alike. a sad look out of it if course it's critical to

prove. that safe realized that you still have a long way to go before society accepts that every individual has their own identity static that some people already do but there's still a long way ahead. when i come you know that means. it will and i hope that one day people won't say we're dressing up anymore but the for simply putting on dresses. that was all from our special on diversity you you'll find more information plus our latest you draw on our web page where you could become the oh no this d.w. backpack with goodies thanks for watching and see you next time buying and.
