Vogue India's 'Fifty Shades of Nude", A Testament To Nuanced Sisterhood By Bikramjit Bose
Vogue India shares a photographic vision of the topic front and center of our fashion industry minds: skin color.
Just now, I found a 2009 AOC short speaking about Padmi Lakshmi, former wife of Salman Rushdie, and a quote from Paula Karaiskos, of Storm Models saying: “The whole discussion about using more ethnic women in fashion has broadened the debate on models in fashion in general and designers are now looking for more discerning faces to front their campaigns.”
In retrospect, I’m not quite sure what Karaiskos meant, given the meaning of ‘discerning’. She meant well.
The Guardian article was focused primarily on the rise of Asian models in fashion. A decade later, AOC remains proud of our heritage and headline: Is the Entrenched Dominance of White Fashion Models Ending? I admit never dreaming it would take nearly a decade to smash through fashion’s white supremacy mentality once and for all. Without social media and the Internet, this breakthrough wouldn’t have happened. Old ways would have prevailed.

Indian actor Aditi Rao Hydari says her role as Mehrunisa in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s controversial epic drama 'Padmaavat' may have been tiny, but was special and beautiful in many ways, especially because of the overwhelming personal response she has received.. Now Hydari is garnering rave reviews for her role in the late-April release of 'Daas Dev', a romantic political thriller directed by Sudhir Mishra.

Of course the cultural appropriation police -- the 'screaming banshees' -- (no offense intended to Celtic Faerie women warning of impending death) were out, tweeting a rerun of the backlash against Kim's sister Kendall Jenner's 2017 Vogue India cover and editorial.
Writing yesterday about Kendall sitting out the fall 2018 runway shows, the Vogue India cover controversy came to mind, where the editor-in-chief put these social media screaming banshees in their place, writing:
"In the last 10 years, Vogue India has had only 12 international covers, including Kendall Jenner, in 2017. Therefore, statistically, 90 percent of our covers are Indian! And we are proud of that." What's more, the brand adds, "India has given the world so many beautiful faces to admire. After all, we are Vogue, an international brand, and we want to give the love back by featuring some of the best international celebrities on our covers. Occasionally! :)"

Deepika Padukone wears a smile even though she's lived with constant death threats and insults to her character for months now, embroiled in protests against the movie 'Padmavati'. Hindu nationalists put a $1.5 million bounty on Padukone's head, for disgracing -- in their opinion -- the 14th century Hindu queen, a fictional heroine envisioned by the 16th-century poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi. AOC will follow up today, but the movie has opened in India, as ordered by the Supreme Court. While there have been protests, the mass suicide of Hindu women did not go off as promised.
