While designers like
Diane von Furstenberg,
Marc Jacobs, and
Zac Posen look forward to debuting their latest designs for at this year's New York Fall Fashion Week,
we'll be looking forward to the models wearing them.
Some of the youngest and freshest new faces will be making their debut on the New York runways this year, and we've got the round-up of which promising pretty young things you should keep your eye on.
1.
Chrishell Stubbs:
The 18-year-old California girl of mixed Caribbean and Caucasian ancestry was discovered on Hollywood Boulevard at the Pig n' Whistle restaurant. Benetton tapped the 5'10" beauty for their Fall 2010 campaign. Stubbs has also made appearances in Teen Vogue, Gap, and Levi's ads.
2.
Betty Adewole:
The 5′11″ 19-year-old Brit of Nigerian descent was discovered while shopping at Tottenham Court Road with her mom. She's already made a splash with her avant-garde editorial in the Machinist, and her cheekbones have even been likened to
Naomi Campbell's.
3.
Anais Mali:
The French stunner of Polish and African descent has been making waves since she first stomped for Vivienne Westwood's Spring 2010 show.
Bethann Hardison, champion of the black models in fashion movement, chose this young lady for a feature in Italian Vogue.
4.
Kelly Moreira:
The French native caught her big break on Myspace, where she submitted her profile for the 2009 Elite Model Look France contest. She didn't end up winning, but she created so much buzz, Ford models decided to scoop her up. Now you can see her in Jean Paul Gaultier and Uniqlo campaigns as well as the runways of Lanvin, Yves Saint Laurent, and Kenzo. Moreira recently landed an eight page spread in Teen Vogue's September issue.
5.
Herieth Paul:
This 16-year-old from Tanzania credits Jourdan Dunn as her muse. When she's not ripping the runway, you can find the young beauty on the basketball court, where she goes to relieve stress (she's 5′11″). She captivated fashion bible
Women's Wear Daily with her humor and poise, and plans on dominating the catwalks of Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Prada, and Gucci by the time she's 18.
What do you think of the newest crop of runway ready beauties?

Well it seems the fashion industry is still reluctant to utilize real "Black" models. The young ladies featured in the article seem to all be mixed with something else. Where are the dark skinned beauties like Alex Wolek or the pretty light brown of a Beverly or Shelia Johnson? Where is the future Iman look alike? Where are the past winners and contestants of Ms. Banks' ANTM? Dani, Eva, Brie? Why aren't they considered for the European Fall Shows? There is obviously some discrimiation and prejudice abounding in the fashion world and don't get me started on why do models have to be so tall and thin? What is that craziness about? Designers need to rethink their own creativity and beauty ethics to seriously incorporate the average height and weight of most women around this home planet we call Mother EARTH!

Sallie, there are 5 models featured. Of the five two are of mixed heritage. The other 3 are not. So I don't think our dark skinned sisters were slighted. Don't forget Black comes in many shades and these 5 young women are all beautiful, all black and hopefully will be successful in their personal lives as well as their careers.

Tired, Please don't get me wrong. I have nothing against the 5 young women that are featured. My displeasure is with the Modeling & Fashion Industries that still only feature a limited number of women of color. On the catwalks around the world there are literally hundreds of tall skinny white girls in the majority. Even in a country like Brazil where people of color run the gamut, who does the industry chose to promote? Long, tall white looking Giesele B. Brady. I'm just suggesting that designers, model agents, fashion show coordinators, photographers and the fashion magazine editors need to start wearing human being colored glasses so they can begin to see the world in the variety of shades that people come in; particularly African-American women!

Finaly it`s done!
A face we have long been waiting for in patient silence.
She was now discovered!
Herieth Paul!
What an eye expression, what a look, soo deep, intense, stoborn and lovely!
She will go, go, go beyond Naomi and much further.
Congrat`s and all luck to her. Watch out for Herieth Paul. She`s the girl of the Sentury.
Sehr geehrte Frau von Firstenberg, es ist schließlich vollbracht!
Glückwünsche aus Ghana.
