Author: admin // Category: Fashion News, ModelsPhotographer Nick Knight unveiled his latest fashion-political film about racism in fashion. Naomi Campbell dressed in a Rodarte dress and louboutins holds two automatic weapons while staring into the camera.
“I am virtually never allowed to photograph black models for the magazines, fashion houses, cosmetic brands, perfume companies, and advertising clients I work for. Whenever I ask to use a black model I am given excuses such as ‘Black models are not aspirational in some markets’ or ‘they do not reflect the brands values,’ normally, however, no reason is given,” - said Nick Knight.
We admire Nick Knight for dealing with the subject of discrimination against black models. it’s a hot topic today, and the more people who discuss it, the more impact it will have.
