Why Did Oprah Give $10,000 To A 21-Year Old Stockton…
Kevin P. Chavous: College Readiness Is More Than Academics
Menswear Shows recently kicked off in Europe, and designers like Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and DSquared have already debuted their high fashion spring 2011 collections. While womenswear shows have made efforts to diversify their catwalks, menswear shows still lack a significant number of people of color. A quick review on Style.com shows that out of 13 shows thus far, only two, Giorgio Armani and Z Zegna, have used a total of two black models.
But what about the runways?

There is another reason modeling agencies avoid black models, other than the fact that there is no demand to see them.
The clothes models wear are one-off, expensive, one-of-a-kind designer fabrications. Once a black person has worn such an outfit, can you imagine the smell and fabric stains? The result is that the garment is rendered unusable for the future and essentially has to be discarded, preferably incinerated.

I think that it's matter more of economics playing into so few nonwhite male models on the high end fashion runways. I very rarely see other black men shopping @ high-end designers. Most black men that I see patronize Sean John or Rocawear. But, one disturbing point is that I see more obese and nasty black women than men @ Macys,Kenneth Cole, etc.trying to muscle their way on to white men and unfashionable fat women's wear.
