Is it just me or were there less black models this Fashion Show season? I understand designers base some of their decision on the market, but did it occur to them that if black women saw other black women wearing those clothes we'd be more inclined to check out the designer? Having that visual idea of what a color would look like on a skin tone similar to our own goes a long way.

It seems that designers have forgotten completely about black women, especially American born black women.

it seems like designers are finally starting to realize this... and it's about time. But it seems there are still those like Vera Wang who may never have a black model in their clothes.
