lakshmi is not black...

Asian and Indian is often counted as black, I never understood why.

I still have high hopes for Jourdan, the only black model that I really liked since Liya. If my sources are not wrong Jourdan was originally taken into consideration for the Prada camapign but then they went with that all-blond concept.

5 Black models is not enough. There are HUNDREDS of brands and only 5 make it? or 4.

[wolfy]

youre right
but i think thats a larger problem in the industry, not really just this season

What?

[Marcel]

^I don't know why. It doesn't make sense to me especially the way I said that but I guess to many people everything not white is black.

[Faith Akiyama]

Haha, I only said what I said because that's the first time I've ever heard of that mentality...so maybe (Hopefully) it's not actually "many people" who think it.

But anyway back on topic

I can't stand the fact that Kasia Struss still doesn't have any campaign She had shuch a great season, is it really possible she's not going to do any campaign?!

[XavierRaphael]

i know i say this a lot and a lot of people may disagree, but i don't even understand why someone as Naomi should even be counted when considering the number of black models in shows or campaigns or covers and compared to european/white descented models. I know she is black descented, but someone at her superduperstar model status IMO doesn't really matter.

BTW, 1#FashionVictim, i'm not trying to question your information, just saying
