Fashion News- Black Girls In A White World
It is always noteworthy when politics and fashion collide. In October, The New York Times ran an article entitled “Runways Fade to White”. The article described the relative absence of Black models on the runways of the most recent Fashion Week.
As a follower of fashion and a Black woman, the article caught my attention.
I tend to live by the proposition that race is a significant characteristic, but should not govern our lives and or dictate our decisions. However, this year’s Fashion Week has challenged those beliefs.
The New York Times article painted a picture of the whitening of the fashion world. According to the article, the number of Black women used in fashion shows has steadily decreased. Frequently, designers request the model’s race in advance so that they can reject the Black models. When the agents try to pull a bait and switch, by withholding the model’s race, the designers later complain. The designers reject the Black model and blame the agent by saying, “You didn’t tell me that she was Black.”
While I was unaware of the underlying details, my review of fashion magazines has revealed that Black models were suffering some challenges. I peruse my five subscriptions to fashion magazines religiously every month, under the belief that fashion is universal. Rather than bemoan the absence of Black women on the hundreds of pages, I have rejoiced when I see a Black face on one page.
