Exclusive: New York Fashion Week Was The Whitest In Years

I read the article "Exclusive: New York Fashion Week Was The Whitest In Years." In this article they shared how 84.8% of the models used in Fashion Week this year were white models. Out of the 5,269 looks Black models were used 384 times, Asian models were used 323 times, Latina models were used 79 times and models of other races we used only 15 times. This was the least diverse show since 2008. Many designers used all white models.
This article made me think of our in-class discussions of what the ideal beauty is. 84.8% of the models used were skinny, white, tall, and young, "the ideal beauty." This blog also made me think about the racial retsrictions that we still have tooday. Many ethic models were passed over due to their race. I thought this was suprising, especially in New York, because that is "one of the most racially diverse places on this planet."
