Model racism continues

We have allready told you about Naomi Campbell’s indignation with the fact black models are not given jobs during the crisis. And now photographer Nick Knight continues the topic. He says the fashion industry is racist.

Nick claims fashion focuses more on white models, and many industry professionals feel reluctant to work with black beauties.

He said:

I’ve always found the fashion industry to be extremely racist, to the point that I don’t know how they get away with it. When I first started I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, ‘We can’t have a black model – they’re not aspirational.’ You can’t say that!”

Talking about Naomi’s anger, Nick told Britain’s The Times newspaper:

Talk to Naomi and she’s f***ing incandescent with rage that she’s not on the cover of Vogue. She puts it down to racism.”

Black supermodel Naomi Campbell says it goes too far now and black models are interesting to the public and designers only in Ferbruary:

The only time they care about black models is in February because it is Black History Month.”

It seems that black models do need some support:

Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington would go to big designers and say, ‘If you don’t pick Naomi to be in your show, then I don’t want to be in it.’ That’s how I got Prada and Helmut Lang”

The only reason I got the cover of French Vogue was because Yves Saint Laurent called up and told them he’d pull his ads if they didn’t. So of course I got the cover.”

Racism isn’t good in any form, so I’m quite for Naomi and other black models’ part.
