Oeeh it is her first season! I really hope to see her EVERYWHERE, but I am affraid she won't because she is black and black models don't get casted that easy and often. There needs to be a lot of hype around them before that happens... Sadly.

The first show card is beautiful!

I was hoping for a big exclusive debut,, but she looks good on the runway. The week is young, hopefully some bigger shows are in the near future.

Diversity Rules! Part 1: FORD

“For many seasons the activist in me tried to figure out what to do about the problem at hand regarding the lack of racial diversity on the runways, in editorials and fashion advertising.

I have addressed the industry by having town hall meetings, gaining international media support, even naming those who lack the sense of responsibility of incorporating models of color. And after being given the CFDA’s Founders Award in June 2014 for upfront confrontation and determination to change how things are done and seen, still we lag at where we should be as an industry.

Surely there has been some improvement.

Where there is clear improvement over the years…are the model agencies. They have improved their inclusion of the model of color and continue to seek those beauties.

So I decided, instead of looking at what and where it isn’t happening (for now), to show where it continues to grow. There are agencies with far more ethnic models than others, but there are many still open to growth.

I decided to reflect what I saw here with the support of Models.com and the model agencies.

I start with FORD who reached out to me to say, look at our efforts. I knew then it had to be an ongoing series…to include all that are making that same effort.

It was truly my pleasure and pride, to see and meet the models that I selected to represent their agencies and to link the others the agency represented as well.

No doubt, it’s a beautiful movement.”
