As a African American woman I must say reading this article was offensive. I understand that designers might love working with certain girls they have established relationships with or they want a certain body type but other than that there shouldn’t be any excused as to why this problem exist in 2013. As many have mentioned there are so many beautiful women of color to chose from. The color of a models skin or her ethnicity shouldn’t be based on the flavor of the season. People want to buy what they associate themselves with.
Women of color shop the retail stores and spend plenty of money on designer items. My last point is referring back to the statement that Ananna made about a show needs to be a dream and doesn’t represent reality. I disagree. I’m so tired of people using this as an excuse to misrepresent people in fashion and advertisement.
People want to see people who look like them doing great things, wearing beautiful clothes, and enjoying life.

“A show needs to make you dream and it doesn’t necessarily need to represent reality.”
Interesting. Very Interesting. Dream world=white world. Wow. I would have been great to have her elaborate more on that statement.

“So I guess there are some collections where it’s more perfect for an Asian body shape because they are more flat and less sexy, in a way.”

To me that statement is racist. Where would white fall in the gradient in her head. Less sexier than black because there are more curves? Or
is the opposite true, where black is too curvy so ..its not…sexy??

I mean REALLY?!

Kudos to you for an honest response about racism then.
