One up-and-coming, premier magazine that champions the   notion of ethnic beauty has officially found its place on the bookshelf of your local Barnes & Noble and selected Borders and news stands. Enter Coexistence Magazine (cheers to founders and two of my best buds – Shahdad Kelishadi and Varuzhan Shahidzadeh)!

Coexistence is rare in its print media nature. Aside from its underlying goal to create an intercultural kinship amongst a said culturally-divided Middle Eastern community, the magazine also intends to bring forth a fresh kind of beauty. “Shake” and “VS” want to “show another side of beauty that no one has ever really seen.” Shadowing this vision, their publication showcases page-turning spreads of refreshingly stunning and voluptuous Middle Eastern women, a la Leyla Milani and Donna Feldman (definitely a contrast from your runway waif ideal).

Men, these photos are certainly a sight for sore eyes…not to mention dry mouth. And ladies, I’m sure you will too find pleasure in the exquisite fashion layouts, especially featuring vibrantly-colored evening gowns that are bound to evoke your inner seductress.

Conjuring up editorials from politics and culture to dating and relationships, Coexistence is already locking eyes with many a reader. If you’re a relentless browser who thumbs through the pages in search of photos that scream style maven, then this magazine is sure to satisfy your fashion fix. Be sure to pick up your copy today, and step into a largely untapped world of beauty that is simply beautiful.
