I’m not one of these people that go on and on about race and inequality/equality however when I see things like this it makes me feel proud. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the last Burberry campaign that saw two black models featured as lead models. Following on from that its nice to see that it wasn’t just a once in a blue moon occurrence as Louis Vuitton have just released their 2011 Fall/Winter campaign and it too features a black model. Nyasha Matonhodze, a Zimbabwean-born, British-raised 16-year-old model, has been chosen as one of the new faces for the brand. The advertising campaign was directed by the brand’s creative director, Marc Jacobs and shot by world-renowned fashion photographer Stephen Meisel. I would love to see more of this but could it just a short faze that will quickly fizzle out.
