ALL THE FEELS

Ángel Añazco is featured in Allure Magazine’s ‘Mind + Body’ February 2022 print issue.

‘All The Feels’ is a skin texture story photographed by Rou Bing Li. Ángel was interviewed for the story, speaking up on embracing skin texture.

"[As a teen,] I really struggled with acne and ended up going on Accutane for a while, and thankfully it cleared up," recalls photographer and model Ángel Añazco. "But what was left were the scars— a reminder of the skin that I had [and] something I see every day. But I'm learning not to let it define me." When Añazco got into fashion, "I loved the fantasy — but it's just fantasy. Images are retouched. We need to be more representative of skin texture and normalizing it. It's easy to feel like you're alone and your skin is your enemy, but we should be embracing our skin."
