A Family Affair
July 31st, 2012 Janelle comments (19)Every so often a fashion story lets you into the real world of a model and shows you another side of her persona. Girl of the moment, Joan Smalls shares the spotlight with her father Eric and sisters Erika & Betsy, in the latest issue of American Vogue and the resulting editorial is a pure delight. Norman Jean Roy shoots the stunning family in their hometown of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, while Tabitha Simmons styles them in striking looks from Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana & Rag & Bone. Take a look at the gorgeous behind the scenes video for even more of Joan & her family – plus see the full story in the August issue of Vogue.

This looks like it was so much fun. I didnt know joan was such a dancer. She’s been growing on me so much. Her personality seems infectious.

I wish I was there with them. The little part where she starts fanning herself towards the en is really funny.

I really love Joan, this editorial is quite sweet but I had major problems with the issue as a whole. Probably the worst American Vogue issues in awhile. Every editorial looked the exact same. I hope they turn it out for September.

Que belleza! Podria reir! So proud to see a Latina model, and a black one to be so successful.
Where is Anna Wintour? I want to personally hug for green lighting this editorial.

Joan is my favorite. As well as Karlie. I want to see them in an American Vogue editorial together. Actually, i think they should be on the cover together!!!!

San Juan is not their hometown, just the capital.

Carola, youre right…she is from Hatillo.
She’s the best thing to happen to Puerto Rico since Ricky Martin. And j.lo doesn’t count because she’s from ny, though puerto rican by background. The island wants to give her the key to Puerto Rico. We admire what she’s doing for our people and island!
