Tracy Reese shown above is the designer for the collection. She is one of the few black female designers. Tracey stated that "runway diversity is only part of the problem with fashion, but it is also behind the scenes as well". She is known for having a diverse runway. Statistics state that only 6% of Fashion Week Models are black.
It is a very uncomfortable thing to think of when you hardly see faces of color gracing the runways for such designer brands, but you always see young black women and men spending their cash on high priced fashion accessories, clothing, and shoes in every picture posted on social sites. It is frustrating to know that women of color have so much talent when it comes to all aspects of fashion such as designing, styling, and more but can't break out into those fields because of their skin type. Models have spoken out on this situation, and some designers have tried to add more brown girls to their lineups.
Do you think this stereotype will ever be broken?? Do you believe that the designers really embrace us or just put us in their shows just so they will not get a bad rep??
On to a more positive note... Check out some of her pieces on the runway!
What do you think about diversity, Are you loving these unique pieces ??
