The debut portfolio in Notes on Beauty challenges traditional views of beauty, presenting it as a journey of self-exploration and acceptance. Through the insights of influential figures in New York, the issue examines how personal identity shapes perceptions of beauty. It emphasizes learning and unlearning in one's understanding of beauty, suggesting that true beauty emerges from individuality and authenticity, not conformity. Each portrait reveals a unique narrative, inviting readers to reflect on their own evolving definitions of beauty in relation to self-identity.
the way i feel when I'm in my own skin and chosen threads is a feeling that is pure and informed from a deep personal guttural place.
beauty is not about becoming someone else, but about the quiet, transformative act of becoming more fully, unapologetically, oneself.
