She was told, she would never appear on the front cover of a high end fashion magazine, because the magazine would never sell enough copies, due to the colour of her skin. </span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was also a fantastic  <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2002798/James-Brown-John-Galliano-Fashion-industry-racist-goes-right-core.html" target="_blank">article </a>on the Daily Mail website by Liz Jones in 2011, she mentioned, <i>"</i></span><i>So far in 2011, not one black face has appeared on the cover of British Vogue. In fact, the last time British Vogue had a black woman on the cover was in November 2008."</i></span></div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span> <br /> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Liz also identified racism is at the core of the fashion industry, its a combination of; the fashion designers who pick the runway models, to the agencies that scout for models and the photographers who select which models appear in their advertising campaigns.  </span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Liz went on to say, young women need to know they are beautiful and see women in the fashion magazines that reflect who they are and  what they look like. This is something I completely agree with.</span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also discovered another great article by Julee Wilson from Huffington Post who  talked about a Clutch <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/18/chanel-iman-talks-racism-in-fashion-indsutry-_n_2900038.html" target="_blank">interview</a> with <a href="http://www.chaneliman.com/" target="_blank">Chanel Iman</a> , who highlighted the racism she faces in the industry on a ongoing basis. She stated <i style="color: #222222; line-height: 16px;">“Yeah, most definitely. A few times I got excused by designers who told me ‘we already found one black girl. We don’t need you anymore.’ I felt very discouraged.

Whatever is happening, things are changing incrementally. </span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a black woman,  its great to see mainstream magazines showing an a</span>ppreciation for women of all shades. There is still a long way to go, but its fabulous to see old fashioned views towards women of colour challenged by some of the most influential magazines in the industry. This definitely shows a step in the right direction. Opinions please?</span></div> <h3 style="text-align: center;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If your in the fashion or entertainment  industry or an outsider looking in I would love to know your views on this subject</span></h3> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969);"><br /></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969);"><br /></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969);"><br /></span>
