Deddeh Howard is a black model who simply wishes there was more diversity in the fashion industry. That's why she started the Black Mirror project, where she recreated some of the biggest and most famous fashion campaigns, replacing fashion stars such as Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Kate Moss and Gisele Bündchen. What do you say, which campaign is better - the original or the copy?
Deddeh Howard, a black model from Liberia who now lives in Los Angeles, wrote on her website that she has had pretty bad experiences with fashion agencies. She tried with different agencies, where she was otherwise forged into stars and would like to represent her, if they didn't already have one black model. In addition, they have countless 'white' models and they clearly appear to be one or two black models on the list is absolutely enough.
She decided on the Black Mirror project because she wants to show what some people would be like the biggest and most famous fashion campaigns to see if it was theirs main star black model. Why big brands don't embrace diversity isn't entirely clear, but it is about time, to start with this. You agree?
