Unfortunate as it is, seems the black models and high fashion are still a long way from being on the same page. According to the organizers of Sao Paulo Fashion Week, this year the government is forcing 1 out of every 10 of their models be black.
You'd think in Brazil this wouldn't be an issue, but prosecutors are actually forcing Sao Paulo FW to get it right this year. Last year only eight of the 344 models in the 2008 show were non-white. And if they don't, they will be fined 120,00 dollars.
Unfortunately, being such a diverse place to live, black models actually believe its easier to get work abroad than there.
