What is beauty? In the Winter issue of IMAGE Magazine, on sale now, creative director Lawson Mpame and director Itchey Drew capture a diverse and unique collective whose lives and industries have been individually shaped by perceptions of beauty, including model Anushka P, who shares how her journey with beauty has changed and evolved her perspective and what beauty means to her.

Creative Director’s Notes

The Shape Of Beauty

“To us beauty is being comfortable in your own skin, embracing the things that make you unique, self identity. It’s loving yourself for the imperfections that society deems imperfections, not paying the price of society’s version of what is deemed beautiful.”– Lawson Mpame and Itchey Drew
