it feels to me on the question of diversity. on the one hand i look at colors of magazines we have, except for karen washington on the glamour, there isn t a woman of color, particularly september issues around fashion week. yet if i start flipping through, it feels like on the pages in print there is some diversity. but the runways, extraordinarily homogeneous. what s the difference between the runway, what is the role the runway plays? the role the runway plays is to get the ideas, fantasy, marketing out. you get women to buy and to dream and fantasize about being these girls on the runway. when we see fashion shows as people of color, i think we tend to look for someone we can identify with. if we don t see it, we re almost feel as though we re forgotten in that sense that we don t buy clothes, we re not interested in fashion.
