JOAN SMALLS
In 2011, Puerto Rican
Joan Smalls became the
first Latina face of Estée
Lauder, establishing
her as one of the top-10
highest-paid models in
the world – one of a
ream of achievements to
have marked her career.
Her CV doesn’t stop
there: having amassed
a huge following over
the past decade, she
has become a vocal
proponent for issues
ranging from diversity
on runways to this year’s
Puerto Rican uprising.
All in a manner that
reflects a new norm in
this industry: that our
most recognisable faces
are determined to
leverage their power
for positive ends.
