“W Magazine” is known for having the most gorgeous models in the industry on their covers. Featured  in their July issue is up and coming model Joan Smalls. Joan told the magazine:

 

“I just have something to prove...I know I’m representing a group—black, Latin, whatever you want to put me with—and I want to show that they are beautiful the way they are. I think that’s really important for our youth to see. Fashion is part of our culture...and it’s about more than just a pretty dress.”

 

Can We Say FIERCE !? Peep the photos above.
