Naomi Campbell Dubs Fashion Industry as Racist
Naomi Campbell has had issues in the past with the world of modeling, and now another problem has come to the forefront. The model has bombarded a brutal attack towards the fashion industry, claiming that they do not treat black models “equally”.
“You know, the American president may be black, but as black woman, I am still an exception in this business. I always have to work harder to be treated equally,” the runway model explained to a German addition of Glamour magazine.
And this is certainly not a first time that Naomi has made complaints. In 2007, she and models Liya Kebede and Tyson Beckford started a campaign against what they said was discrimination in the business.
“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.”
