Indian Vogue

The first time I saw a copy of Indian Vogue, I almsot burst into tears.

Indian Vogue celebrates Desi beauty. The bollywood actresses, models and socialites are in every shade of brown and importantly, celebrated as being beautiful.

Growing up as a 'non-white' in Australia we are bombared with images and the belief that 'blondes are beautiful' leading to many of us to develop complexes. Because our images were never celebrated we felt different and non-mainstream-forver referred to as the 'ethnic' beauties.

With India's boom in wealth and success, luxury labels and adopting westerness in many levels is a unique situation. It's a unique time that's caught and reflected in the magazine.

It's refreshing to see beautiful images of Indian beauty, the modern day life of Indians and they way the embrace luxury-brands-westerness-success and enjoy their wealth.
