Joan Smalls

perfect, and obvious example. Sessilee Lopez. She is utterly fantastic. She got a little bit of nice work when she first came out....then no one wanted to work with her because... why? she was just as beautiful as before? she was black...and they moved onto the "new black models," Chanel and Jourdan. Why in the WORLD can there only be a few top working black models? Stephen Meisel had always loved her, and that is why he gave her the biggest editorial and a cover for the VI issue. He truly showcased that she is one of the best models we have today, and that she is just as deserving of being a supermodel as Coco, Egle, Hilary, Jessica, etc. I mean...thats probably one of, if not THE biggest editorial I've ever seen from Meisel.

I just think it was unfortunate that the other model, especially Jourdan and Liya who actually had covers, to have only one page, two pages tops as editorials. Hopefully Liya will have more eds and covers in the future. I pretty sure Jourdan has and will lol.

That's actually Deontay Wilder, a boxer who is participating in the Olympic games.

Joan looks great in all her Ralph Lauren ads - here is to hoping she will soon be alongside Valentina in the ads for the collection as well.

Hopefully this means we'll see her at Ralph Lauren. She is just prefect for that brand.
