The fashion world is slowly, but surely beginning to recognize diversity.

The latest to do so is Teen Vogue. The magazine’s August 2015 cover featured three models of color. The headline read “Fashion’s New Faces.”

The three beautiful models are Aya Jones, Imaan Hammam, and Lineisy Montero.

Jones, 20, is a French-Ivorian model who has walked in 47 runway shows. Hammam, 18, is a Egyptian-Moroccan model whose career took off after landing a Givenchy campaign and her first Vogue cover. Montero, 19, who is from the Dominican Republic, kicked off her career after walking in a Prada show.

The three young women are “among a small cadre of black models to grace the influential catwalk since Naomi Campbell in the '90s,” according to Teen Vogue.

During their interviews, the models discussed model stereotypes, racial identity, and natural hair, among other topics.
