Le Coil was one of the first online blogs/sites to feature beautiful photos of natural women on a regular basis. The street fashion is as inspiring as the hair itself. Founded by Jamala Johns, the blog has original photos and as well as features from other sources across the web. The collection of images showcases natural hair and all its diversity and most importantly the women on display are real women. Not models. That makes it that much more relatable and inspiring.
Jamala tells Clutch Magazine:
Sometimes it seems like half the battle of being a coilie is feeling like you’re not being represented in the same fun and artful way that other groups are, so from the beginning it was really essential to me that the photos be really bright, stylish and modern. Also, I want to make sure that there’s a strong representation of diversity among black women, whether it be with their hair texture, skin color, body type, profession or personal style. Overall, I’ve tried to maintain a design-forward, editorial approach while still letting things organically fall into place.
