This article is about the diversity of white and black models on designer runways. Five years ago, the fashion industry had complaints that many shows and magazines included nothing but white models. Former model, Bethann Hardison said that part of the problem is that “no one in power slaps these designers around.” She goes on to add “If you are going to be bold enough to do it, then please be bold enough to explain it.” Beginning at Fashion Week in September, Ms. Hardison is organizing a social media campaign to bring public inspection to specific designers who do not use black models. She wants to raise awareness to consumers about designers who do not accept minorities on runways.
