Ten Unreal Dark-Skinned Models Who Are Changing the Game
The fashion industry has endured a long history of race superiority and stigmatization of models of color, often championing white models, designers, and magazine editors over their equally talented BIPOC peers. The stories of many Black fashion models and their influence on the fashion industry have been overlooked and underrepresented across international editorial spreads, fashion runways, and digital lookbooks for the past few decades.
From the rise of fashion media from the mid-twentieth century to the present, the industry has continually been a place to grow in terms of inclusivity. For many years, modeling agencies, designers, and editors tended to look for one body type and skin color, but over the years, some prominent Black figures have shifted the industry’s status quo.
From the first Black model to appear on a magazine cover to the first to open a major runway show to the first to land a major cosmetics campaign, this list is overflowing with undeniably inspiring achievers who deserve all the hype. Keep watching to see how these ten models (in no particular order) have redefined and continue to redefine fashion on their terms.

I want to see the women on the title cover over these runway models lol😂
Thank you for this article❤
Take off that fake hair . They are haughty just as prophecied in Scriptures .
Paloma Elsesser is clearly a charity case. Also, why did you feel the need to use photoshopped women who literally look nothing like the models you spoke about? Weird video.
I wouldn´t mind if the trend finally reverses and the dark beauties dominate the industry. African graciousness, the proud foreheads, huge eyes, long legs, etc…Godesses!! And we – the white white cheeses will clap! Go ladies!!!
What is changing? Black women marketing bodies themselves to white people has been going on forever 😂😂😂
Beautiful Africa
Beautiful women but they are not all dark skinned. Stop clickbait because mixed women have always been what men look at as exotic. So please know what dark skin is and mean 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
❤❤❤❤
ALL LOOK LIKE STRIPPERS IN THE THUMBNAIL AND LIKE NAOMI CAMPBELL, WHEN THE MAKE UP IS OFF THEY LOOK GROSS
So many beautiful women💜🫶🏾💜
Beautiful ❤
