They Walked that Walk, Now They're Talking That Talk; Naomi & Iman Address Racism on The Runway

Last week supermodels Naomi Campbell and Iman Abdulmajid were on ABC news talking racism on the runway. The supermodels stated that designers would have only one or none black models on the runway and they demand diversity, they find that designers are sending a "powerful negative message by defining beauty as all white in high fashion". The fashion icons didn't just stop there but they called out some of our favorite designers Calvin Klein, Donna Karan and Armani. Funny enough Calvin Klein had 5 black models this very recent New York Fashion week. Anyways, I can't even watch anymore CK or Armani shows without judging for not having black models -__-.. & God bless Naomi and Iman for talking that talk, we've been waiting for someone to address this mess that's happening on runways, now we're looking forward to the next fashion week, how much you wanna bet there will be more black models? :)
