1. Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: Black Models Then and Now
When news hit that Jourdan Dunn wouldn’t walk in the 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, we couldn’t help but wonder how diverse the show would be. Only 7 models of color walked in the taping so there is still work to be done. But VS does have a rich history of tapping models of color like Naomi Campbell and Alek Wek to don their lingerie. Ahead, black models who have graced the Victoria’s Secret runway.
