This issue is something that I am hoping will inspire people. I love Ethnic Hush. I love all things associated with what this issue is all about. We shot some great editorials and we are using fashion to explore some deeper social issues in an effort to get you to think and ponder long after you have read the issue from cover to cover. We explore the word "homegirl", which is a term of endearment within the inner city and the hip-hop community. I think that in this issue, it becomes apparent that we are all the same. What happens when you put a model on the street and have her beg for money? What happens when you take a European model and put her in a Inner City environment? What happens when you put a rebellious Asian girl in front of a plate filled with gold and silver trinkets? Will she conform to her surroundings or will she be who she is inside? What happens when you have a model move from side to side, jump up and down?
Will movement bring a smile to her the stylist. I over heard one of the kids say to face, will it bring a smile to yours? another, I want to be a photographer just like him when I grow up. I thought to myself, this These editorials can be viewed as is what fashion can do...It can inspire! I the key elements that make actually knew that before I heard the little boy say that, because fashion inspired me and fashion...well, fashion! Fashion continues to do so each and everyday! knows no boundaries, it knows no color, it can be worn by anyone One of my fashion hero's found the publication from any culture. It is full of color, via Facebook and it blew my mind completely. I got up the nerve to ask for a interview and he full of movement, it has texture, it granted us with a powerful Q&A that I think has shine, it is glamour and it can everyone should read! Nicolas Jurnjack did not give up and because of that he has become one be lead to fake imagery. It can of the biggest names in the fashion industry make you what you are and that you may have never heard of. If fashion is everything that you are not. Fashion power, he is a true superman and he shows no sign of slowing down! My heart skips a beat, is culture, it is diverse, it is for because we need him to share his talent and everyone that means fashion is wisdom for many more years to come. ethnic! What better place to unleash I love bringing a issue to you each and every this notion than in Chicago! The month that demonstrates uniqueness. I think it ultimate cultural melting pot! is important to bring diversity to any existing I was excited to shoot Homegirl Dougie! We shot it in my neighborhood. I found it interesting that I could not find a team that wanted to shoot at the Ramos Grocery Store. When a team was assembled, we all had an amazing experience. The neighborhood was so happy to see us there. Everyone was so excited and the children were in awe of the model, the photographer, the makeup artist and
medium as it helps us grow. There is no turning back, if there is no one to do hair, I'll do it myself...If we don’t have wardrobe, I'll make some and if there is no photographer...I'll shoot it myself! Hush Chicago Magazine is important not only to Chicago, but to people all around the world who want to admire something different. We are all so very different and that's what we all have in common. This is what keeps fashion rolling and so will Hush Chicago Magazine! Vogue is Vogue, Elle is Elle and Hush is Hush! Trying to be something that we are not means that we don't like who we are..so why be like anything else? Besides you can't copy greatness, you should only tap into your own! Enjoy! Ogi :)
