Since we all love to talk about race relations here in the LPSG, I figured I'd bring up an interesting article from the NYTimes hipster blog "The Moment."
The Moment Men’s Fashion | The New Black - T Magazine - New York Times Blog
I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with world events, but Italian Vogue recently released an issue featuring all black models. The entire magazine was filled with beautiful women of color...and somehow it was a collector's edition?
Yes, the industry is fickle and shallow, but I at least would have imagined that it was not as much of a struggle for a model of color (man or woman) to get work on runways or print in 2008. We have Iman, Tyson, Chanel, Guerren, Liya...there's a full list of beautiful people who are more than qualified to do the job, yet they still are having to fight against the next non-minority or extremely exotic anamoly just for some space.
Whatever, I ranted a little bit...what do you think about this?
