One of the explanations, or the excuse is that the model is there to showcase the clothing and not the other way around and you need someone who will disappear. Or someone will point to Chanel Iman or Jordan Dunn or Arlenis Sosa. Wow. It's as if there can only be a couple of black models working at one time. People of color spend alot of money on fashion and they need to be acknowleged on the runway and in major fashion publications. And sticking black models in the back of Italian Vogue doesn't cut it.
