Karen Vega has become the first Indigenous Oaxacan model to appear on the cover of Vogue Mexico. Representation matters and I hope to see more diversity in media and fashion as a standard and not a trend. Felicidades por romper barreras @karenespinosavega ! Vega said “It is time for new generations to have media that show them expressions of equality and educate them about the differences that make us all beautiful”.When Vega saw actress Yalitza Aparicio on the cover of Vogue, she felt seen, and she hopes that her work will make other girls feel represented as well. “My grain of sand would be to put the focus on the southern woman, our stories, where we come from so that more than just photo models, we can also be an inspiration of another kind,” said Vega. . . . . . . . #historicalgarments #vintage #costumedesign #BIPOC #fashion #dresshistory #Mexico #historicalsewing #fashionhistory #brownisbeautiful #historiadelamoda #histoiredelart #Vogue #historyofphotography #representationmatters #decolonizingfashion https://www.instagram.com/p/CChPiDVBmdp/?igshid=2f376muji828
