See Me Now: A fashion film with a social conscience
Glen Mackay was at a fashion show overseas and was told “the darker the skin, the uglier they’re considered”. He decided to call upon some of his friends in fashion industry to address this, and prove that beauty is all about feeling comfortable in your skin. ‘See Me Now’ is a fashion film with a social conscience.
Produced and Directed by Glen Mackay.
