i normally don't care, but i noticed that i was really excited to see so many black models at JPG, and as i was looking at style.com, i realized i was looking and lingering at the black girls and not the clothes. then it made me sad again because there probably won't be another show in paris as diverse (although more asian models will be prevalent).

i have my favorite models and i love tallying and focusing on them and the shows they do, but i can't help but also notice the minority models that i don't really follow. to me, if more shows had consistent diversity, then i wouldn't have to focus so much on the one or two black or asian or latina or other non-white models, and instead focus solely on the clothes or aesthetic.
