Long before black models graced the pages of Italian Vogue or even walked the catwalks, there were pioneers like Mounia, muse to Yves Saint Laurent.

Born in Martinique, Mounia’s exotic beauty, flawless complexion, and graceful composure were the perfect complement to Saint Laurent’s glamorous, dramatic creations. She was the first black model Yves Saint Laurent used in his haute couture shows, and was widely considered the French couturier’s favorite model.

Saint Laurent was one of the first designers to employ black models, which raised many eyebrows at the time. He challenged conventional standards of beauty, setting the stage for models like Naomi Campbell, Iman, and Jourdan Dunn, to shine.

In a 2008 W magazine article, Mounia remembered Yves Saint Laurent. She said, “I was his first black muse…He helped open the door for black models. Sometimes I was his confidante, and I would sometimes inspire his creativity. He called me Moumounn. The collection that made me a celebrity was the one inspired by Porgy and Bess. I wore a pink pantsuit and a boater hat. I walked to ‘Summertime’ and really took on the character of Bess. Catherine Deneuve stood up and started clapping. The everyone stood up and called out ‘Bravo!’ Yves Saint Laurent peered around the curtain – a thing that he had never done before – to see what all of the commotion was about. The people were shouting ‘Bravo, Yves Saint Laurent!’ and ‘Brava, Mounia!’ He took me in his arms, and we kissed. This for me was history…After that I had more than 15 covers…Mr. Fairchild gave me my first cover [of WWD], and [French Vogue’s] Francine Crescent gave me 27 pages. This was the first time that a black model had arrived in haute couture. I say thank you to Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent and thank you to Monsieur Pierre Bergé. My last word for Yves Saint Laurent is ‘love.'”

Mounia retired from modeling in the 1980’s (she walked almost exclusively for YSL), but did make a reappearance for the tribute to Yves Saint Laurent at Centre Georges Pompidou in 2002.

She began painting oil on canvas in 1997. Her works of art have been dispalyed in galleries across France, the Ivory Coast, Monaco, Japan, Guyana and her native Martinique.

To Mounia!

While many may view diversity and inclusion as a trend in the fashion world, Becca McCharen-Tran has had the concept rooted in her Chromat brand since its inception. Chromat is a swimwear brand which upholds the ideals of diversity amongst all women in all sizes, ethnic backgrounds, and other aspects as well. Chromat has always seemed to generate a positive response from the crowd with their diverse shows. Chromat’s Spring/Summer ‘19 show generated lots of high praise as the collection featured models who were transgender, one who had a prosthetic leg, and a breast cancer survivor baring her scars, all adorned in Chromat’s paradise driven colorways.

Chromat’s AW19 “Climatic” collection still kept the same energy focused on diversity, body positivity, and inclusion, but Becca McCharen-Tran decided to zero-in on something else important: global warming. With South Beach Miami feels in mind for the new collection, it opened her eyes to climate changes such as increased flooding and red tides. The AW19 Climatic collection consists of neon swimwear and metallic, sheer beachwear made of upcycled fabrics from old collections, old fishnets, and plastic bottles.

The playful neons and edgy designs makes this collection a perfect for day-to-evening with an awareness for social issues. Chromat shows models of different shades and body types in a natural makeup and adorned in leaves to illustrate the focus of diversity and love for the environment.

It seems like everything that Virgil Abloh touches at the moment turns to gold. Off-White is by far one of the biggest brands of the past year, and it’s only going to get bigger. With Virgil’s street savvy urban designs, as well as his runway looks for Louis Vuitton it’s easy to see why everyone is watching to see what he will do next.

These Off-White zip tie mule pumps gives us Yeezy vibes mixed with the classic Off-White flare. For $820, would you splurge?
