Yes Judge. The Accused is to be tried on counts of crimes to Fashion. The Accused proudly pleads guilty and demands that they be let off as although their catwalks have been void of the footsteps of an ancestral pattern unfamiliar to their own, they MAY randomly in the future choose to ANOINT a LUCKY BITCH THATS PRADA HOW DID SHE MANAGE THAT ethnic model to diversify their frankly overrated fashion.
Why must these SAMEY fashion urghs insist upon forcing the SAME SAMEY looking models? They make these drab and VILE excuses for Our (and by our I mean in this context ,the ethnic woman) beauty by starving the already thirsty catwalks of any cultural diversity~ and instead of adding exotic air into these catwalks or fashion shows, they fawn over bushy eyebrows or the cerulean blue of some pretty model with the same eyes and the same skin as them and the same excuse as to why the ethnic model in fashions luxury ocean must pray some urgh picks her to swim upstream.
Let us make no mistake; models not of the ethnic persuasion are just as gorgeous as those who are-if only they were being given the chance to show it.
Read it, absolute tripe.
There's an overwhelming sense of; "OH HOW LUUUUUUUCKY SHE IS!"
Not once does the article (if you can even call whatever the pig's piss I just read that) ask
WHY.
WHY is Malaika Firth, (the LUCKY ethnic model in the "article" ) the
"first black model to front a campaign for the fashion house (Prada) since Naomi Campbell in 1994"?
WHAT TOOK YA'LL SO LOONG?
And she's not the first ethnic model to have a fashion first;
In 2009, Chinese model Liu Wen became the FIRST model of Chinese descent to walk in a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Wen also participated in the 2010 show and expressed surprise at being chosen. As of 2013, she has walked the show for 4 consecutive years.
Supermodel extraordinaire Tyra Banks has many firsts;
Banks was the first African American woman on the covers of GQ and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and in 1997, she became the first-ever African American chosen for the cover of the Victoria's Secret catalogue.
Vanessa Williams, the American singer, actress, producer and former fashion model was crowned Miss America 1984 on September 17, 1983, becoming the first African American to win the title.
Model Jourdan Dunn explains that black models are pitted against each other because there are so few jobs for them. Many labels are only looking for one black girl at castings.
Jourdan says, "People will say things in Chanel's (model Chanel Iman) ear like, 'Jourdan is taking your spot,' and then they'll say to me, 'Don't trust Chanel.'"
(The models used to feud-sort of but are now quite close)
Chanel says, "You're being told, 'So and so is only booking one black girl. It's either you or Jourdan,' So we'll be sitting in the lobby looking at each other like, 'Okay, I want this job, and she wants it too. Which one of us is going to get it?'"
"I remember last season," says Jourdan, "I was about to go into a casting, and my agent phoned and said, 'Turn back. They decided they don't want any black models.'
I was like, 'They're actually telling you that's the reason? Are you serious?!'"
How long has ethnic skin been out of date? Or should I be asking how long these people's mind's have been drifting in search of something to "bring back"?
And then to behave in a way as such that you are doing Us this ONCEINALIFETIMEOPPORTUNITYTOMODELFORYOUHOWLUCKYWEARE! favour by including us?
"For some designers, it's their 'thing' to make a statement with a black girl, but I just cast who I think is cool."
