I didn’t know this until the other day, and I don’t know if it’s a good thing, or bad, but Chanel Iman is the first black model to walk the runways of Gucci, since 2005. It may sound bad, but what’s worst is that British model, Jourdan Dunn, walked for Prada last season, and was the first brown sista in 10yrs!!
Former Gucci designer, Tom Ford, ended his reign in 2005, so maybe it’s the fault of current designer, Frida Giannini, why it has taken so long. And, why only one black model? I know it might not seem like there’s a lot of black models around, but believe me, there are. They just don’t get the same chances.
* So, my question is:
- If you were a black model, and in Chanel or Jourdan’s shoes, would you feel honored to be employed to a company such as Gucci or Prada?

Monique Lhuillier gowns, Zac Posen dresses, Cartier jewels, and Lorraine Schwartz diamonds. What could make any celeb-fashion event better? — Music! Condé Nast’s 5th Annual ‘Fashion Rocks’ concert took place last night @ NYC’s Radio City Music Hall. Celebeauties like Beyoncé, Rihanna, Solange, Mariah, Mary J, and much more performed, but the biggest attraction was, of course, the fashion.

We all know that Ms. Nia Long is one of the best dressed black females. Always sophisticated, always sweet — so there’s no wonder as to why we always want to know, “where can I get one like that”,admiring her latest ensemble?
One of my Fashionista101 readers, Amisha, asked me where did Nia get her dress she wore to the BET Awards. I couldn’t find the same dress, so I opted for a similar draped design, in the same plum color, from Forever21. Top it off with a pair of gold rhinestone hoops, and you’re good to go.
