Are You Into Fashion Week? 5 Reasons We Are Looking Forward To It
2. Models
It’s great to see models of color get shine on the catwalk. Though the industry has a long way to go, familiar faces like Joan Smalls, Jourdan Dunn, Sessilee Lopez, Ajak Deng, Gaye McDonald, Arlenis Sosa and more are a delight to spot on the runway. And the way they storm the catwalk is thrilling to watch!

i watch the shows when they are posted on various youtube channels.
Fashion Week is not into me as a Black woman, so I’m not into Fashion Week. If Fashion Week ever becomes more inclusive and hires a decent amount of Black models and includes Black designers then I might reconsider. I might.
just wondering, do you only buy clothes from black designers?
As a matter of fact, I do. Non-Black designers do not use Black women, for the most part, in their advertising, so I respond by not buying their clothes, handbags, shoes, etc.
Val, does that also apply to makeup? I’m sure that kohl liner around your eyes wasn’t made my black a black woman.
I attended a smaller show of emerging designers at NYFW this past February. Out of 6 designers, 4 of them were Black! Do some research and keep an open mind.
