Teen Vogue
Teen Vogue magazine began as a version of Vogue magazine for teenage girls. This U.S. magazine focuses on fashion and celebrities and offers information about the latest entertainment and features stories on current issues and events.
The magazine is published in a smaller 6¾”x9″ format, allowing it a unique cover size and more visibility on the front of a magazine selling shelf, and some flexibility getting into a digest size slot at checkout stands. Wikipedia[/one_third_last]READ MORE THE ROOT

Glenford Nunez Photography: Phoenix Zen Andre Walker Natural Hair Care Line This is a photo of two sisters named Phoenix and Zen for Andre Walker Natural Hair Care products. These two loved being in front of the bright lights and were naturals in front of the camera.
This was my very first shoot with Andre Walker. Andre and his business partner Dianne have been great clients. We have had a great working relationship for years. Andre discovered The Coiffure Project through some online media outlets and reached out to me to work with him on the launch of his natural hair product line. Glenford Nunez
