 Racism In The Fashion Industry?

By: Chante’ Wallace


 

Observers are realizing that there is a scarcity of black models, designers, photographers, and executives in the fashion industry.  This was evident during last week’s New York fashion shows'.  It has been said that it is even worse in Europe.

Most people argue that if black women are not represented in ads and shows, black people are not going to want to buy from that particular company. 
           
A Washington-based attorney, Daniel Wolf, who specializes in civil and human rights, stated that the fashion industry is under the assumption that they are allowed to discriminate, and that it is legal.  He disagrees, saying it is false.  Wolf recommends that modeling agencies have the same percentage of black and white models.
           
There has been a noticeable increase in the number of Asian models, designers, and executives in the industry while blacks lack in all aspects of fashion. 
           
Style.com posted 101 shows and presentations on their website.  Of the 101 shows, 31 did not have black models, and most of those who did only used one or two. 
 
          
Iman, a notable fashion icon, stated that she felt strongly about organizing a union for models.  She also noted that it’s the only major industry that does not have one.  "Models don't have a union. They don't have a voice. No one speaks for them. Thank God I'm not a model anymore."
