Model's Digest

So much of what goes on in the fashion world, including the fashion modeling world - is about what's in. And now, to a certain extent, black models are in again. But as much as it delights me to glimpse the gorgeous pics in Italian Vogue and peep the gorgeous men in the Dsquared show, collectively, these efforts at diversity seem to be more like a passing fad instead of something that will actually change the industry. Sort of "Let?s do all black guys this time! It will be fabulous!" Having all-black magazine issues and all-black fashion shows isn't going to solve any problems. When there's a concerted effort to really add diversity - to runway shows and magazines on a regular basis, and not just a handful of gimicky all-or-nothing, publicity-grabbing shows and mag issues, then we'll know that things have changed.
