Black

Racial Diversity has been very much discussed in the fashion industry in the last couple of years.

The "norm" was that maybe one in 60 girls per show was black or asian.

I think it´s not just me feeling the change the last couple of seasons.

Vogue Italia came out with the "all black" issue, Prada used a black (gasp!!!) girl in theyr show for the first time since Naomi Campbell in nineties and for this fall´s collection Calvin Klein got an exclusive on this gorgeous 17 year old black kid (for the first time in theyr history) , named Lindsay.

Sessilee Lopez has been opening shows this season, Arlenis Sosa ,a drop dead gorgeous new girl from Brazil got a Lancomé deal for trillions and Jourdan Dunn, the english cutie is getting so much publicity and is fast becoming one of the most famous english models around.

I´m not gonna get into what the deal is, I´m just going to let you all enjoy these incredible beauties. Iman, Waris Dirie, Ubbah Hassan, Yasmin Warsame( my favorite) Jourdan Dunn, Lyia Kebede, Arlenis Sosa -J´ adore.

It feels very strange that in the beauty industry, black women that buy the most make up (I read a study-a really cool piece in Vogue some years back) didn´t even have "theyr" models as the faces of the brand. There aren´t many years since black women had make up made for theyr skin tone.

When Esteé Lauder figured where the big bucks were they hired one of the most gorgeous Somalian models, Liya Kebede , but she is like a black Barbie. Baby steps , anyone?

A change is gonna Cooooome...

Enjoy the breathtaking view.
