Hey Luvs,
I found this video on worldstarhiphop.com and I thought it gave a great look into being a black model in the fashion industry. Its sad that here in 2010 an ethnic model isn't able to book the same jobs and campaigns as her white counterparts. Even though, black buying power is at an all time high some fashion houses still believe "black don't sell" and they are sadly mistaken. If we seen more campaigns with models that "look like us" we would be even more compelled to buy. Ethnic women are draped in Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada and other high end labels. Do they not understand some people didn't even pay they rent this month just to get the new Gucci bag or Gucci shoes. If our president is black than some campaign and runway models should be too! If you are a model or an aspiring model of color I advise you to watch this video...
Always BSB,
Miss BSB
