but in jamaica companies are still selling the message that light skin is attractive. it's a public health crisis. that is great because we don't know the long term effects of having all of these steroids and creams being absorbed into the system. many ignore the risks clubbing in kingston is about seeing and being seen. but it's also about bleaching people once and looked like that pop idols. no one knows exactly how many people lighten the skins. no, everyone is happy to talk about it. the i don't have a problem with the person that believes in their opinion. if they want to get ahold of nearby, do minutes would be there for some jamaicans that trying to fight the trend. these loved your skin acts of this a visiting a go school to spread the message and raise awareness of the issue you're gabrielle

the grand beauty salon in leipzig, the people who work here are familiar with different cultural preferences and beauty standards. the international team consists nearly exclusively of people with a refugee or migrant background. most are professionally trained in their craft and some self taught. but every client seems to appreciate their know how of the on the different tier than in other beauty salons, i've only been once before to a beauty salon in germany. and then i went because of a friend of mine. many of the customers are migrant. rarely or never go to a beauty salon in germany. some feel uncomfortable or sometimes wearing a headscarf might make a visit to a conventional hair dresser, can possibly come up in all you can just close your eyes while i apply the make up

terms, which is maybe try to relax a bit. so did you get here? ok, mara wants to grand beauty salon to be a safe space. was is done over $100000.00 was this was invoicing celeste, a place where they like to be treated where they feel comfortable overcome, where they don't get any comments about the texture of their hair or skin color, but can just have a seat in that and share their thoughts about anything from somebody's in a more critical way and shouldn't be done on the all social diet or smartgate to show the makeup artist says, visiting a beautician in germany can often be a discriminatory experience for people of color. she has little doubt about why that is, i just had to y'all are here this misguided beauty standards. fine, which are both extremely western and white. this matter, they can leave a person feeling inadequate if they don't correspond to this ideal of beauty office, especially since they might not fit in with any other kind of pursuing has guy is

pushing so many salons, only carry cosmetic products for light or skin tones. i've often tried to use make up for white skin and it makes me feel like a clown. yea. but here it's all very natural. so i'm very grateful to follow. good flesh is a performance artist and cultural educator. she found that the grand beauty project for a long time, grand beauty was a mobile beauty salon moving between german cities where fall go and her team organized workshops with the permanent location here in likes. it has been open for a year now. and that's marietta falls compass. we often see 1st time encounters between people who otherwise wouldn't have crossed paths in their everyday lives. as many places where communities simply don't mean attacks leaving because people

are more likely to stay in their own circles, speaking the same language. yeah, and so i'm end up liking the monthly collections tired. nicely cou now is one of the largest prefabricated housing estates built in the former communist east germany. nowadays, it's a low income area where many residents have a negative view of foreigners. the intercultural salon is located right here in a park model. a headset wants to educate people through her work there. her own experiences as a young muslim woman indicate it as much needed as the most name or some of us with most dilemma. phobia is very noticeable when dealing with the german authorities and within the school system this morning this i have many nieces and nephews referenced with whom i love spending time, the money. it drives me crazy, but i'm told again and again i'm on i um just need to fax it off to clear. well dodge? yeah. wow. you speak such a german one very and i would like to reply yes dear,

i'd sure hope so since i was born here a month in germany, my native language wasn't the not even worse. so the people who make nasty comments, i'm try to spit it me move away or leave a room as soon as i enter, or if i miss her louder, start asking insensitive questions. um, yeah, i would, i had him in descriptive, having said she would like the grand beauty salon to be a meeting place that brings people from different cultures together in a relaxed atmosphere and helps to overcome prejudices. sions by them on, on them. so you want to show to down here in a bit longer on the top you how much on the fine have my son left sooner have dinner? this is colleen will bones 4th time and it's alon. she's lived in leipzig go now for almost 30 years, but she hardly knows anyone with a migrant background of

a hill side. i'm a products and house to the house and there are a few ukrainians living in our building. quite, you know, they're nice people, but it's not easy to talk to them because of the language barrier is a formal helps. then we can go to the german, isn't that good? yeah, and this hits close to home for hairdresser if the sounds a 12015, she crossed the mediterranean sea to flee the civil war in libya before arriving in germany. cunning here has allowed her to improve her german and make new contacts. the beauticians work on a donation basis and the project is funded by grants. many on the ground beauty team has only been given temporary permission to remain in germany and don't have work permits or the volunteer hours only count as an internship. but they increase the chances of obtaining

a residence permit is quick to tablets to since our program is part of an art project that gives people the opportunity to work on a voluntary basis. um the mention of this, i don't necessarily need the residents treatment for that and uh and if everything works out well, if everyone gets along and is ready to turn this into a part time job and i will continue down that path. many dropped nose for kids spiteful for no. ideally, working in the salon could be a stepping stone to getting into the german beauty industry. which can do with a lot more diversity. according to mar and berlin, she teaches at the german pop academy a training center for aspiring makeup artist and on the side, she freelance is one herself. she believes that her hand scarf is the

reason why she hasn't been offered a permanent job anywhere. who don't say enough for me, so i would have loved to treat it as a hairdresser, but i didn't fit in so well with the teams that the salons where i applied too much . um, not even after getting my diploma as a makeup artist impaired designer. and so to be able to dress the way i like i had to start my own business, wisconsin come in today's class, she doubles as a model while teaching that's my search. i fro hair, arabic, coal, or asian eyeliner. she wants to train her students to meet all of their potential customers needs. even if the mannequins remain western european for the time being from alice for her. if you have normal hair spray, it was something 1st so that it doesn't get all fun things which model is convinced that beauty salons can promote tolerance, and that the grand beauty salon in leipzig can serve as an example. let's think of

those. i think this is exactly what we need from time every day. places like this to come together to them even if we don't like each other in the street. i don't want to look at each other and run the sample. the best thing is when something changes inside our customers, and they get a new perspective systems on and off in less than the . what makes someone beautiful? who defines that? and what role does society play? these models are preparing for a photo shoots in a parking run, but a quite unique albino sisters, matilda, and angelica, or really being client by the italian modeling agency in perfecta. which is set itself the goal of changing popular beliefs of what constitutes the beauty. and

then to put them on this, we don't have fixed criteria for ways all regions in color or hot the bed holland is the only thing that matches of selecting our models saelens to for years. now some courses of the fashion industry have suited to stand out by introducing more diversity and challenging the idea that models must be told, seeing and as little as possible, raising eyebrows, we've models that stand out from the crowd, is the essence that these agencies brand some that are people when i was a kid, people would touch my head to see if it was real or a week to a full set of who knows. i'd requested for sort of a as an aspiring model name, a luger had to overcome many difficult hurdles before he was hired by the in perfect to agency. they told me the i had to do something with my skin because he was right. so, well, i had to cut my hair because it wasn't present both for the guy. and so i had to

lose weight in recent years, many labels have begun using largest size models to advertise the clothing but it rates and shows in milan, paris, and new york city science 0 appears to be back. almost all the models were extraordinarily seeing these, the party positivity trend ask once the game was, it will just a publicity move powers, fashion, journalist of expose. the wasn't surprised at these latest developments today. practically every show has to have at least one or 2 oversized models. it's all this trend and fashion of inclusive, very of course diversity is also a little bit of a green washing at times when you look in the stores. and if you ask for a huge size, they don't have it. they're really have. yeah, has large and maybe extra large, but then they don't have x x x. so it may be

a trend, but it has had an effect on the industries image of beauty, models of different types and the cities are more popular than ever. it's also more common for magazines to feature models with disabilities. old ones that are older is this trend going to continue? i think it's going to continue, but maybe not as much as the price and social media is making out of it. that may be the case, but the impact fits the agency has steadily landed more contracts since they started in 2020 it's just not that much time. so it was very difficult because the labels were only used to working with one type of model got be and it's been gradually more moon labels are realized. not important just what the actual, representing the customers and that's the data for his instead of manager. but will be great if anyone door it's no longer only the labels fits aside. what's attractive and trendy, now consume is a having

a say the next generation is part of a changing society that values diversity. and they won't models who reflects these times the she's made it a g, vanessa niana models, who could tour pricing cat walks around the world. she's at home in kenya, and grew up in a village in the countries in coverage northwest. at the age of 18, a german us and yanna was crowned to miss nairobi, and shortly afterwards she became an international top model, came into the hyphen scene in french, 2006. and um yeah, for us it was sort difficult to get some these shows back in the day. so to get

a show like running to you know, is like, was it's a big deal at school. less than young i'm was teased because of has skin tone, but those days are long gone. coming from home where the beauty standards, why are they like tell you why the more beautiful you well, i felt like, oh my gosh finally. these people who think i'm beautiful, so i felt i felt ex, accepted whether it's cold, locally or internationally. it feels like finally there's a movement to appreciate people who tend to like d. c is on trains. an issue, a purchase, vogue kids, 9 african models, news and magazine said, we're redefining what it is to be a session model. black models, but presented without natural black hat. the cover unleashed a mix of reactions,

some sort as a step towards equality. but among the critics, for me, the judge's office p, our expert and journalist fashion has also been an interest of has and she was skeptical to my issue, mainly with the cover was the fact that it, it was obviously an exaggerated idea of blackness. and the models had the skins darkened for the shoot. so for instance, in this, in this picture here, as part of the general idea to really you can see that the, the skin has been dolphin significantly. that and the straight hedwig, she says, corresponds with weston ideas. about africa rather than representing a step towards racial equality on the catwalk. while it's stunning and visually appealing, it's not exactly a realistic day to day representation of the everyday black person move every day

black model. so i think if you look at the objective of the sheets versus the execution, it didn't necessarily match up, which was my main, my main issue. i think the black community deserves to critique these kinds of images and the ways that they are produced. yet the campaign still a way can be interest of many young african women who so modeling as a dream, joan model agency head lindsey mackintosh is also aware of the downside of this trend. talk models might get paid up to $10000.00 euros per campaign, but such jobs are few and far between. and the what unpredictable this wondering while that goes for modeling in general, she says, after can you come as they see from the biggest challenges, it would be hard enough for a girl coming from a city like not ready to go to new york and be a must in this rob superficial world where everything is about what you look like.

and people have no qualms about telling you. sorry, you're not right for the job though. you have temples on your legs or, you know, any other thing. you go to have a very healthy, self esteem, i think, to, to cope with being model yet many still hope for success. issues outside the victoria and albert museum in london session is frequently exhibited here often european fashion. a recent landmark exhibition showcased africa's fashion seen with african models, the 1st of its kind, the show and to address europe's colonial legacy and the colonized fashion. west and design is have loan appropriated african designs. but now africa and models of african origin, all beginning to get the platform. camila rose lived in london for a few years and had childhood if will have parents return to sell to me off the coast of central africa. she decided to come back to london where she launched

a modeling career, but it's been a struggle i think before because of the racism. but now i think we assessed a septic to know more than before. it's now come, pains about like beauty in anything that has to do with so things may be better than they were with us still room for improvement. natural african has styles a still not fully accepted on wisdom networks. camilla is familiar with the problem when i was young, my mom, she straight my head off to you is all sides still. and now i need to embrace my mon, hey, it's waiting outside. now not true. i don't want to spend any reading my lot d t o the black moves, enjoying the like. i'll stick susan the
