Jourdan rocks my world.

The girl is just destined for greatness!

The other girl ( in trousers) has a lovely skintone and looks pretty.

Glad to see black models (finally) getting some work!

Milan Fashion Week SS09 - Menswear Shows

Versace Mens SS09

2 black models.

The style.com archive goes as far back as SS05 for Versace Mens show - this is the first Versace show to use black models I could find. Maybe there were black models before SS05 but I can't find those shows.

This guy was in a recent Benneton campaign...so gorgeous. He did another Milan show this week too.

I think Chanel Iman is the cutest thing ever. So cute that she could kill someone with it!

^^thanks sethii! do you know either of their names?
the first guy really looks familiar.

Costume National SS09 Mens

Ty (WHY NOT)

Dolce & Gabbana SS09 Mens

Naomi Campbell - no black male models. There were about 76 looks

[men.style.com]

No black models at Jil Sander, Missoni, Prada or Burberry Prorsum. I wonder why menswear shows have less black models. Maybe because male models make less than female models, it must be hardest to be a successful model who is male and black...so top agencies won't bother with them?

Yea I got him now....he's Ty with Why Not in Milan. Couldn't find the other guy though.

 

[Mchunu]

thanks sethii..can't believe there were 76 looks @ D&G Menswear and the only black model wasn't a man
