in yet another astounding post on jezebel, the numbers from new york fashion week 

were crunched to reveal the terribly skewed racial lines in the world of fashion.

"of the 142 shows out of the 184 that showed at mercedes benz fashion 

week for spring/summer 2014*, there were 4637 looks.

 of those close to 5,000 looks, around 80 percent 

were modeled by white women."

it is shocking to think that it is 2013 and some designers  are still

choosing to give such a limited view of who their "ideal" customer is. 

when the world is so diverse and colorful, why just rely on

 one type of look? 

a designer who has been applauded for the diversity of her shows

is my personal favorite, diane von furstenberg, who seeks always to 

glorify women- of all colors. 

yet another reason why she's the best.
