Ten Unreal Dark-Skinned Models Who Are Changing the Game

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.
