BREAKTHROUGH!!! Sean John's Entire Runway Show Consisted Of African American Models!!! - MediaTakeOut.com™ 2008


BREAKTHROUGH!!! SEAN JOHN'S ENTIRE RUNWAY SHOW CONSISTED OF AFRICAN AMERICAN MODELS!!!





February 09, 2008. MediaTakeOut.com told you last week that Sean "Diddy" Combs would be hiring only African American models for his Sean John Fall fashion show - and that's exactly what he did. Check out the photos below of Diddy's full line.

To end the show, Diddy even brought out model Tyson Beckford. The two had been feuding over a lawsuit filed nearly a year ago.

Given the number of prominent fashion designers who refuse to hire African American models in fashion shows around the world - we think it was a courageous move for Diddy. Who knew he had it in him....

Now what happens if a major white designer does that? We'd call him a racist right? We can't have our cake and eat it too. We need to stop being hypocrites 90% of the time. While this was a bold move, what does it really prove? Divided we stand and divided we fall...
 

Growing
I can't recall the person, but someone on here recently stated that it's not about who he staffed for the show -- black, white, whatever -- but about the target market.

Diddy's a smart man, and he's proven that many times. That's why I want to say it's obvious that he's targeting black men.

@ YingYang... lots of white designers DO hire only white models for their shows... hence the term 'blackout'... as in Blacks are out of the shows.

Besides that, I am loving this eye candy for the morning.

I LOVE IT. GOOD MOVE DIDDY. WE NEED MORE AFRICAN AMERICAN DESIGNERS TO HIT THE SCENE AND FOLLOW SUIT. BLACK MODELS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS ON THE RUNWAY ANYWAY. WE HAVE THAT SEXY SWAGGER THAT WILL SELL ANY GARMENT.

WHITE DESIGNERS PUT ONE BLACK IN THEIR SHOW, JUST TO SAY THEY HAVE ONE. I APPLAUD DIDN'T FOR SENDING A MESSAGE THAT AFRICAN AMERICAN MODELS ARE JUST AS TALENTED AS WHITES.

WHITE DESIGNERS DON'T HESITATE TO TAKE THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THEY MAKE OFF BLACKS WHO BUY THEIR GARMENT, BUT DON'T THINK WE ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO PUT IN THEIR SHOWS.

GOOD LOOKING OUT DIDDY. IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT YOU HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN WHERE YOU CAME FROM. THE BROTHAS LOOK SEXY.

about damn time. Black celebrities need 2 boycott some of these designers who refuse 2 use black models in their shows. In Italy, some designers were posting signs "Black models need not apply". Will forever love and support Yves Saint Laurent. Just saw a documentary on him and he used the most black models i have ever seen by a white designer. Go YSL!

somebody should have sized him up-cause that jacket look to damn small... he cant lift his arms so he can clap.
 

esotericdredz
Its a decent first step, but it still looks like he chose his models using the "brown bag" test. Show more the whole spectrum of skin tones and I think THAT would be truly radical.

TheBrokenSilence
Congrats Diddy on segregating people, doing the exact opposite of what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wanted and in black history month of all months. HOW BEAUTIFUL! Showing different races coming together would be a good look since you say fashion shows only have whites, why not have a whole mix? Whatever he's an [EXPLETIVE] and he didn't make it on the richest list for once so he's losing in my book.

This ruler isn't exactly the street-savvy specimen we've seen in the past. For one thing, Combs says, he's been mellowed by a female influence.

"Every great king falls in love with a woman, and we all have to admit it, if you fall in love with a woman she affects your style. She inspires your style, she changes the way you look and you walk and you talk and you act ... and you see the style getting more modern, more forward."

Diddy may be a lot of things, but one thing he is is true to his purpose and his cause. I read another article saying that it was a risky move because hiring only African Americans is considered reverse discrimination. Well, how in the hell could that be? Look at the runways now, all you see is white people and African American models can't even get hired. Why? because it would be considered too risky to put African Americans on a runway where the clothes that are being modeled are intended for white people only. Here you have Diddy whose clothes were made with the intent of providing high fashion for African Americans, but somehow are consumed mainly by whites. Now he's pimped slapped the fashion industry by putting all Blacks and no whites in a show where the majority of the spectators are white and the majority who will purchase his clothes are white. Ha Ha!! Kudos to Diddy!! Recognize authority in the fashion industry when you see it.OWwwwww!!!!!!! And, they are all very beautiful.

@ YingYang

If we don't take care of our own then (((NO ONE))) else will!! This has very well been proven. And I do get your point about being divided, but like cat said, white designers do it ALL the time. They'll either have (1) No black models at all, (2) Token black models (few sprinkled in here and there but NEVER too many), or (3) a few lucky black models who have made it far enough to crossover (Tyra, Naomi, Iman types). So if whites aren't giving us a break and black designers weren't using many black models either...then who would??

Whites are the #1 reason for the black community's warped perception of beauty. We're not seeing enough examples of black beauty in the media, fashion shows, etc...everything that is portrayed as beautiful is Europeanized. Not to say that Europeanized beauty isn't beautiful...but there is also more than 1 type of beauty and it's about time we see that.

***NOTE***
Does anyone think that if he had a women's line (or do he??) that he would use ALL black models for that as well?? hmmm...

I here you. It's Puffs business, he's suppose to get paid. But I'm not looking for press from mainstream, we don't need their approval or spotlight.

It does prove that there is strenghth in numbers, and we can successfully work together and everybody can get fed properly without hating on each other!

Even in mainstream somebody will get paid more than others, that's just business. For all we know Puffy could be supporting all of these brothers business.

I think the point of having all black models is so that the brothers can get paid for a change since they are not hired as often for white designers. One high profile job usually gets interests peaked for other oppurtunities.
