Vanity Fair

My work from Miami Ad School 

The Assignment: Take an existing section of VANITYFAIR.com and Concept + Create

a Digital HUB that informs and drives people to the website.

Create a universal place for consumers and people interested in VANITY FAIR

Magazine to go. Build a community and have VANITYFAIR.COM be the ultimate

destination.

The Results: The Vanity Fair's future readers are socially conscious Gen z & Millennials. 75% of Gen Z will boycott a company for its lack of diversity and inclusivity.  VF's out dated beauty section needed something more than just a spot of their website. We developed a microsite that would be the hub of the future of beauty. 

SHADES OF VANITY
A platform that uses user-generated content mixed with beauty influencer classes, to form a diverse and inclusive community where minorities can find the beauty content they've been searching for

75% of Gen Z will boycott a company for it's lack of diversity and inclusivity. 

Vanity Fair's beauty section was missing diversity and up-to-date content.

Shades of Vanity was developed to create a space for diverse beauty.

"Discover and share beauty tips with people like you" Shades of Vanity brings user-generated content mixed with beauty influencer classes, to form a diverse and inclusive community where minorities can find the beauty content they've been searching for.

Building the Community 

The Shades of Vanity page will feature a segment called People of Shades. These are posts linked to articles that feature everyday users of the app.

These posts will give a voice to users about their past struggles to find belonging in the beauty space.

Shades of vanity campaign will be featured on Vanity Fair to increase awareness
