Naomi Campbell: “Racist Fashion Industry Caters To White Models”
The modeling industry gives preference to “blond, blue-eyed models,” according to razor-tongued supermodel Naomi Campbell.
“You know, the American President may be black, but as a black woman, I am still an exception in this business,” Naomi says in the new issue of Glamour Magazine Germany.
“I always have to work harder to be treated equally. In the past, there were more opportunities for black models but the trend towards blond women has again become extreme. In magazines, on the catwalk, I see blond, blue-eyed models everywhere.”

Naomi is telling the truth and most white people do not like admitting it too. I’m a white girl, blond with blue eyes and my best friend is black and we’re both models. I get more work than her and I feel so bad. My friend has a better walk than me too, has stunning hazel brown eyes, perfect bone structure…I guess you can say that she looks like Halle Berry, very beautiful… but people will not hire her for fashion shows, etc. It’s really sad…I hope things do change soon.
