It's interesting to see so many seventies-inspired collections during this spring/summer '11 runway show season reference fashion's most ethnically diverse decade. Marc Jacobs's show, which gave a nod to Rive Gauche with boldly glam and colorful dresses and jumpsuits, featured the most black models of the entire season so far: Rose Cordero, Chanel Iman, Joan Smalls, Melodie Monrose, Jourdan Dunn, Shena Moulton and the list goes on. The most beautiful part is that Jacobs isn't the only designer who went beyond the runway tokenism that plagued most of the Aughties. It's now not such a big deal to see more than one black girl on a runway show (remember when it virtually was only Liya Kebede?).
