Perhaps I'm being overly sensitive, but this concept feels icky to me. The Black models are all seemingly depicting hired musical entertainment for the white people. Like in old films where the band onstage was made up exclusively of black people but all the actual party attendees are affluent and white. Not that I think the brand had malicious intent, but I do think they're referencing a time when that was the case and they're celebrating and romanticizing that specific aspect of it, and they're doing it in a very direct way. The black models are all merely setting the stage for the privileged white person.

I agree with this completely.

I really only like the solo image of GiGi, but overall its pretty awful campaign.

You're not being overly sensitive, is the elephant in the room. How lame creative directors still doing stuff like this nowadays,
