GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. – A stunning photo turning heads around the Twin Cities is meant to make history during February’s Black History Month.
Celeb influential African American women from Minnesota are front and center of a new photo spread called “Back to Black.”
Stylists at the online magazine Fashion Odds selected women who enrich Minnesota’s black history and future. The spread is inspired by a former layout in Vanity Fair called “Women in Black” featuring black supermodels.
“And that’s when we said why don’t we use 12 influential African American women that would not only be models, but role models?” said Parker, Fashion Odds’ creative director. “I want every person that looks at this photo, whether they be black, white, Latino, purple, blue, Asian, I don’t care. I want them to see this photo and see their stories and be like, wow!”
