Ep. 3 – Someone’s Going To Be A Model… Why Not You? | Supreme Models

Published

on



The rise of Hip-Hop in the 80’s set the stage for Black Models to rip the runway and turn the fashion industry on its head. The absolute icon that is Karen Alexander shares her incredible triumphs of forging a path that would leave a lasting legacy on the culture and fashion industry. We look at how music became entwined with fashion and how the camaraderie between Black models set the foundation for the Black Girls Coalition with Bethanne Hardison and Iman at the helm.

Supreme Models is a 6-part documentary. New episodes premiere Mondays.

    Well, for openers, I'm 74. Then there's the wife thing. Finally, oh, never mind.

    That we all continue to speak up. The key for a change! I just miss the masculine point of view on all this, since our black models fellows become less exposition, money and less recognition, as well.

    As a teenager in the 80's, I remember when fashion was the center of the universe as stated in this documentary. As a Black teenager living in a predominantly white area of Southern California, I purchased fashion magazines religiously during this time because of the upsurge in Black model representation. I needed that representation. This documentary so highlights their hard work and the mystique these supermodels had. That mystique made them seem larger than life. They were magic. The current crop of models don't seem to carry that same charisma. Brava to all of these ladies who paved the way for continued diversity in the industry!

    Hair was only an issue because the white modeling industry made it an issue. America is the one country that do not embrace other cultures! And some wonder why they’re not liked in most countries. When visiting other countries other cultures ask are you American not “you’re black”……..

    Black woman are beautiful it's a serious shame they didn't want them to model but now they can and yet still scandal racism and other toxic plots try to keep us down as Black people our women are doing great 👍 hopefully everything will be safe for the modeling industry in the future face it we are human the earth 🌎 makes us believe and know that our Black women will always be blessed and beautiful 😍 God bless yall love always to the world of Black women amen 🙏 peace
