Its being noticed that there is a problem in the fashion industry for mixed-race models who weren't seen as black enough to be black and not white enough to be white.
THE SPORAH SHOW decided to invite different types of models to hear their opinion.
PURE NATURE BLODE MODEL
MIXED-RACE MODES AND
PURE BLACK MODELS
SPORAH AND THE MODELS
MEET THE MIXED-RACE MODELS.
Are mixed-race models ignored by the fashion industry?
I think there is still a lot of prejudice in fashion; it's difficult if they're after a certain look. I've met only few of mixed-race models – mostly models seem to be white or black.
MEET THE NATURAL BLONDE,
SUPER MODEL HARRIADNIE BEAU.
People think that most real modeling jobs are reserved for haute couture international models, mostly if you're attractive (blonde especially)..!

It's not about being blonde.! NOT AT ALL
Yes am Natural Blonde but i still go through a lot of challenges.
Sometimes, the pressure is not more on the shows or work, but is more on finding agencies that can represent models and find them work.
Becoming a female model is not just about having BLONDE HAIR, there are many more requirements if you truly want to succeed in this industry.

Unfortunately black models have to be very special and very determined to win work. I don't think it's a racist thing; it's led by money. Magazines are scared to take a punt on something that might not sell."

They're under represented everywhere because they are a minority
