I saw that bit on her on NY Mag's site too! Very exciting to see that she is getting recognized and hopefully will do very well this season!
I think she is so EXTREMELY versatile. I mean...depending on the different pictures. I see visions of Liya...Chanel...Jourdan...Iman... its really hard to tell at times, because she has a freaking CHAMELEON of a face. fantastic.
same source
It irks me that they describe the V picture as though it were an editorial - I got excited for nothing.
That Ralph video makes me so sad Joan didn't walk the show - clearly he liked her and she would have been perfection in the show. Her look is more Ralph than some of the girls who did get cast. Hopefully this season designers will get on board.
YES! She was basically the star model of the video. But that was before the VI all black issue. So i feel we are going to feel SERIOUS ripples from that issue and Joan will def be walking for Ralph soon. I mean....she is a perfect Ralph model and he knew it but there were (are?) still such racial stigmas in this industry. We are at LEAST going to see IMMEDIATE success from black models next season.
^ I agree with you Je Veux Te Voir. I have a few questions if you don't mind taking the time to read them. Why does it always have to be a 'black issue' for people working in the fashion industry to finally realize there are many many black models who are just as HF and beautiful as any working white, latino, and asian supermodel? Why does it take so long for it to happen? Also, will this have substance or will it die down in let's say the next 5-10 years like the so-called 'fad' usually does, or aleast until another black issue Vogue magazine comes out lol? Of course I know the answers to the questions and felt like a wasting a good portion of my time lol. But I do feel models like Kinee, Mia, Joan, Ajuma and alot others should have been apart of that issue because the of the breakthrough they made in the fashion world. I also feel Marie Fuema is deeply underrated!
Oh my goodness gracious! What wonderful news! I can't wait to see her for Ralph come fall! I saw this picture on the RL site but its so small. Can't wait to see your scan jules!
