Every September, the bloggers, forecasters, journalists, trendsetters and retailers of the fashion industry have all eyes on the grand finale of fashion weeks around the world - Paris Fashion Week. Paris is the fashion capital of the world and for good reason. The most progressive, exquisite and unparalleled designs come from this romantic European city. Something so innovative happened this week that has never been previously done in the world of fashion. Designer Rick Owens beautifully shocked the pulse of fashion and concept of beauty with his choice of "models" and presentation. Instead of having models with the standard size and shape, prancing down the runway, he showcased his Spring 2014 RTW collection with shapely minorities, all performing a step dance! All eyes are now on designer Rick Owens for his courage in celebrating racial and body diversity and simultaneously communicating the new concept of beauty. Please read more about it and watch the amazing video (click

Thank you, Rick Owen, for bringing racial and body diversity to the fashion industry and for pursuing inclusion for anyone no matter their color or shape! What do you think of Owen's bold move on the catwalk, foregoing the cookie cutter model for a more realistic and diverse representation of the world's population? Happy Friday! xx
