Finally there's a fashion magazine for young women of color with the classiness of Vogue but a focus on people from diverse cultures, upbringings and interests.  Introducing ... SUEDE Magazine, from the publishers of Essence.  SUEDE debuts strong with one of the hottest woman in entertainment on the cover - Grammy-winner Alicia Keys.  Keys is known not only for her amazing piano and vocal talents, but also for her unique urban style, making her a perfect SUEDE cover girl.  Many new magazines fail because there's no audience to speak to.  SUEDE is an exception.  This magazine is a voice for the new American woman.  SUEDE recognizes that there is no longer one definition of beauty and takes a bold step to highlight the beauty of multicultural and urban women.  In addition to fashion, this magazine covers everything from personalities, fashion history, pop culture, and more.  SUEDE reminds me of UNC's first fashion magazine Kaleidoscope because it covers a spectrum of styles.  SUEDE is long overdue in America's fashion journalism industry.  For more on this groundbreaking publication, visit www.essence.com/essence/suede/home.html.
