Elle Magazine 2014 Cover Girl: Joan Smalls
(Via the Huffington Post)
While magazine covers are increasingly reserved for Hollywood starlets, Elle has bucked that trend for its January 2014 issue in favor of featuring the world’s #1 model — and a black one at that!
Supermodel Joan Smalls who covers the magazine, told Elle:
“People hide behind the word aesthetic. They say, ‘Well, it’s just that designer’s aesthetic.’ But when you see 18 seasons in a row and not one single model outside a certain skin color…? There are people in the industry who are advocates, who support diversity. And there are people who do not. I don’t get it, beauty is universal. These doors have to open.”

The issue will hit newsstands on December 17.
