It's wonderful to see more diversity in the fashion industry and I really hope this increase in models of color is more than just a 'trend'. It would also be nice to see some Black designers make it as big as their White counterparts.... :innocent:

patrick robinson is the designer for perry ellis, if that is what you mean.

Was. He's at Paco Rabanne (for now).
 
i think that there will eventually be probably at least 3 top black male models and 2 black female models

Some of these models aren't new models but I would love to see more eds and/or runways shows.
 
The Jacksons and George Michael like black models in their Videoclips:

Iman
1) Do What You Do - Jermain Jackson
2) I Remember The Time - Michael Jackson

Naomi
1) Freedom 90 - George Michael
2) In The Closet - Michael Jackson

Tyra Banks
1) Too Funky - George Michael
2) Black Or White - Michael Jackson

I think Lisa Butler appeared in Roxanne's George Micheal version, but I'm not sure!
 
There has been a lot of controversy about the lack of black models in magazines and excitement lately about the industry's initiatives to include black models in magazines. This is to be applauded. The bottom line however, is that editorial in magazines just doesn't pay the bills. A black model can be seen in every top magazine there is but if she doesn't get offered the campaigns, she won't be able to survive.

I recently saw a list of campaigns for this season and I saw only three black models on it Liya, Chanel, and Naomi. There are tons of black models and more than enough top black models that aren't listed at all. This needs attention.

I hope to see this thread flourish with posted campaigns. I'm starting it off with Liya Kebede and Tiffany & Co.

Let's talk about it.

Good idea for a thread. Booking editorials in one thing, campaigns is a totally different story you're right.

Please remember to write the source of all the images you post.
