Sarah Diouf is a force to be reckoned with in the fashion industry. After spearheading Ghubar Magazine, the Senegalese-French entrepreneur has now launched Le Magazine Noir, a fashion, beauty, and lifestyle magazine focused on the black experience.
She says, “[ NOIR ] refers to more than a skin color. It’s where I, where – we – come from, Africa, le continent noir; that not only abounds with people of a dark skin complexion (…), and at times where we can feel a strong hostility amongst Maghreb and the sub-Saharan. It’s a will to remove inhibitions, gather the minds, showcase and promote a greater image of African, black, [ NOIR ] women all around the world.”
She continues, “ [It encompasses a need to celebrate] the renaissance of a color, a community, a continent, through the lifestyle and achievements of its feminine figures, and those who feel this is what and where they belong.”
“From Dakar To Casablanca, to Paris and New York, the noir woman is plural, and fully inserted into the realities of a globalized world. She is more than a magazine; she’s life, style, and a state of mind.”
Sounds fabulous! The magazine is online at www.lemagazinenoir.com/magazine. A French and print edition come next month. Here, finally, a magazine that might follow in the footsteps of Suede.
