Black Models In The Fashion Industry




The fashion industry have long been criticized for using mostly white models in fashion shows and many other modeling venues - runways, editorials, advertisements, and fashion covers.

And so Italian Vogue came back with a vengeance, as few days earlier the editor-in-chief of Italian Vogue Franca Sozzani made a public statement that said, "We are using a lot of black models, like Iman! ...Not only the models of today - a lot of different girls."

Ask why the magazine came up with the idea, the EIC replied, "Because nobody is using black girls. I see so many beautiful girls and they were complaining that they are not used enough."
