Fashion Week Diversity By The Numbers

Jenna Sauers — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 14:47:51 EDT

In September of 2007, it was reported that of all the 101 shows that took place during New York fashion week, one third employed zero models of color. Since then, we've tried to track diversity on the runway every season. More »

Fewer Models Of Color Work New York's Fashion Runways

Jenna Sauers — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:00:00 EST

After tracking diversity on the runways for several seasons, we took off last September because we thought the fashion industry was finally coming to its senses. Models of color were getting booked! How disappointing, then, to tally this season's numbers. More »

Fashion Show: Jill Stuart

Sadie Stein — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 17:50:00 EDT

To call Jill Stuart's spring line "diaphanous" is a major understatement: it's a total Greek goddess wardrobe, layers of chiffon and sea foam gowns and Isadora Duncan-worthy tunics. And then, out of the blue, this random gym outfit. It's a lot of romance, kids — besides the gym outfit, I mean — and cynics shouldn't even apply. But for the rest of you, dust off your Bullfinch's Mythology and get ready to embrace your inner deity. More »

Fashion Week Runways Were Almost A Total Whitewash

Dodai Stewart — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 12:00:00 EST

When New York Fashion Week kicked off, we swore to monitor the diversity — or the lack of — on the runways. CFDA president Diane Von Furstenberg sent a letter to designers, model agencies and casting directors last month, encouraging them to create shows "that are truly multicultural." Well, the NY Daily News reports that despite von Furstenberg's efforts (and the numerous summits held by former model and agent Bethann Hardison), the catwalks were sorely lacking in models of color. According to the News, out of 66 shows at the in the Bryant Park tents, 18 designers had no black models. Jezebel editorial assistant Maria-Mercedes Lara, who went through each and every fashion show posted on Style.com, said that the models were overwhelmingly Caucasian-looking. She notes that von Furstenberg's runway "had the most models of color, but then again she did send the letter. Although Peter Som was quoted in The Wall Street Journal as saying 'I do not want an all-white cast,' his show featured a mere 3 models of color out of 18." A breakdown of the models, some examples of "diverse" shows and quotes from industry insiders (gathered by our own Jennifer Gerson), after the jump. More »

Fashion Show

Jill Stuart — who sold her first collection to Bloomingdale's at the age of 15 — is known for pretty, clean, wearable clothes. Her vision for fall 2008 included lots of black, midnight blue, satin and velvet; more mildly depressed poet than all-out goth. Judge for yourself: The annotated gallery begins below. More »

Rapper Eve's clothing line Fetish is having a revival. After suffering bad break-ups with both the Innovo Group and Marc Ecko, it's now reborn under the Signature Group's tutelage.
