a headscarf might make a visit to a conventional hair dresser, can possibly come up in a new can just close your eyes while i apply the make up and maybe try to relax a bit. so did you get here? okay. all right, so once the grand beauty salon, to be a safe space was, is down of a 100000 miles. this was the list 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 and that, and share their thoughts about anything from somebody's in a more critical way and shouldn't be done on the also sort of market 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 partridge for her to y'all on the sabbath. misguided beauty standards fire,

which are both extremely western and white. this matter if they can leave a person feeling inadequate if they don't correspond to this idea of beauty office, especially since they might not fit in with any other kind of pursuit had to do i just pushing so many salons, only carry cosmetic products for lighter skin tones i've often tried to use make up for white skin, and it makes me feel like a clown the game. but here it's all very natural. so i'm very grateful to welcome 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 gonna enter team organized workshops. but the permanent location here in likes it has been open for a year now. and that's marietta and polls come to us,

we often see 1st time encounters between people who otherwise wouldn't have crossed paths in their everyday lives. 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 them and you can, i just thought i'd try it nicely. cool. now is one of the largest pre fabricated 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. my headset wants to educate people through her work there. her own experiences as a young muslim woman indicate it is much needed. i'm the most name or some of us was most dilemma phobia is very noticeable when dealing with the german authorities and within the school system. there for me on this i have many nieces and nephews. this is hard with whom i love spending time. the money drives me crazy,

but i'm told again and again i'm on i um just need to fax it off to clear who dodge . yeah. wow. you speak such a german one. right. 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. why miss her louder? start asking insensitive questions? um yeah, i would, i had him in descriptive harm. 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 then on falls 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 that's alon. she's lived in leipzig go now for almost 30 years, but she hardly knows anyone with a migrant background. well, he'll say, i'm a products in house the. 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 of those photo books. then we can go to the german, isn't that good? yeah, and this hits close to home for hairdresser if the sounds so 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. the volunteer hours only count as an internship, but they increase the chances of obtaining a residence permit is quick to publish the 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 when you drop no sports kids 5 talk to no daily 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, in berlin. she teaches at the german pop academy 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 0, i would have loved to train is a hair dresser, but i didn't fit in so well with the teams at the salons where i applied too much. um, not even after getting my diploma as a makeup artist of hair designer of this thing. so to be able to dress the way i like i had to start my own business. miss thompson, come in today's class. she doubles as a model while teaching a small such fro hair, arabic, coal aren't 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 such as i'm going off in most plan, not the . what makes someone be useful. 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 perfect, 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 pretty bad 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 just 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 come that over people. when i was a kid, people would touch my head to see if it was real or a week. a full set of one of our route goes to for sort of a as an aspiring model name, a luger had to overcome many difficult totals before he was hired by the input fed 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 expulsion. i 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, or 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 uh the rates are so that most i'm so that was very difficult because the labels were only used to working with one of the types of model got be and it's been gradually more moon labels are realizing the important distribution

of representing the customers. and that's the data for his instead of managers but will be guaranteed 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, the values diversity. and they won't models who reflects these times the she's made it a g minus an yanna models who could tour pricing. tap 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 gym and us and yanna was crowned miss nairobi. and shortly afterwards, she became an international talk model came into the hyphen scene in french,

2006. and um, yeah, for us it was so difficult to get some these shows back in the days. so to get a show like running to 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're well or 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 visa movement to appreciate people who came from like d. c is on trains. an issue, a purchase moves,

kids 9 african models. the magazine said, we're redefining what it is to be a session model like models that presented without natural black hat. the cover unleashed a mix of reactions, some sort as a step towards equality. but among the critics, the me, me john, do office p r x, but i'm journalist. fashion has also been an interest of has and she was skeptical . my issue mainly with the cover was the fact that it was obviously an exaggerated idea of blackness and the models had the skin turns dark. and so 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 straits had whigs, she says, corresponds with west and 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 personal, the everyday 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 awake and the interest of many young african women who so modeling as a dream, joan mobile 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 work on predictable, this one the while that goes for modeling in general, she says, african you come as they see from the big challenges. it would be hard enough for

a girl coming from the city like nairobi to go to new york and be a must. and this prob, a superficial weld 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 very healthy, self esteem. i think, to, to cope with being model yet so many still hope for success. issues outside the victoria and albert museum in london, session is frequently exhibited here often european session. a recent landmark exhibition showcased africa is fashion seen with african models, the 1st of its kind, the show and to address europe's colonial legacy and the colonized fashion. western design is have long appropriated african designs, but now africa and models of african origin, all beginning to get

a platform. camila rose lived in london for a few years in her childhood. if all have parents returned to sell to me of the coast of central africa, she decided to come back to london where she launched a modeling career. but it's been a struggle thing before because of the racism. but now i think we assessed a septic to no more than we felt as an outcome. pains about like duty in anything that has to do with those things may be better than they were. but the still room for improvement. natural african has styles a still not fully accepted on wisdom capital looks. camilla is familiar with the problem when i was young, my mom, she's treat my head and after years on sites still now i need to embrace my own head is waiting outside. now not true, otherwise, any green my black beauty, all the black moves,
