the black runway

there has been some recent chatter about the lack of black models on the runways, in the ads, and on the pages of popular fashion magazines. with BET's special feature documentary that aired a few weeks ago (see more here), Italian Vogue's July issue featuring almost nothing but black models, and Chanel Iman taking the fashion world by storm, I thought I take some time and highlight some not so familiar black faces that have been pushing their way to top and holding it down for all those gorgeous black woman that look just as amazing in their just cavalli shorts and marc jacobs stilletos as any one else- have a look- thank you
