Naomi Campbell Slams Racism In Modeling
Naomi Campbell believes the modeling industry gives preference to “blond, blue-eyed models.”
(Hello, Captain Obvious!)
“You know, the American President may be black, but as a black woman, I am still an exception in this business,” Naomi says in the new issue of Glamour Magazine Germany.
The volatile supermodel, a longtime critic of racism in the fashion industry, says she has to work twice as hard to be treated equally on the catwalk because of the color of her skin.
“I always have to work harder to be treated equally. In the past, there were more opportunities for black models but the trend towards blond women has again become extreme. In magazines, on the catwalk, I see blond, blue-eyed models everywhere.”
