Fashion World War:

The fashion world is one of those entities that is still trying to hold on to those old 'Jim Crow' ways of living. Are blacks seriously trying to gain respect and appreciation that some of our elders and ancestors were trying to gain in the early and middle days of Amerika? A "Black Issue" shouldn't have been an issue at all. It was praised and rejoiced upon about being so great, just as such when bathrooms, hospitals and schools became integrated in the 40's. What makes it so not effective, is that the Issue is not so much of race in Italy as it is in Amerika. Slavery was here in Amerika where blacks were not even considered human,and were not allowed to have jobs that could provide joy,and a comfortable income. In 2009 I should not have been impressed with black models being on covers and in editorial of magazines, I figured by this time we had gotten passed that Traditional Racism that were so used to seeing and migrated to the new racism that we see now. Some of that new racism has made it's way through the minds of some gay designers, Who even though experience alienation and disgrace,still somehow eject the same treatment towards blacks. Did you notice how I said Gay and didn't give you a race? That's because it seem like the Fashion World is this big zombie that turns everyone into the same once they join the "crew". So many things that make me scrunch my face when I look at this industry, how all the models look the same even the minorities due to reconstructive face surgery, how all the models have the same weight as most individuals on they're death beds, and how the fashion world has shaped our minds on what being beautiful is. The Devil Wears Prada was a film that was merely entertainment for the most part, however it also showcased the aura of what the world of fashion can be like. The character Miranda who is supposed to be the Devil Anna Wintour, has a right hand gay man that she fucks over time and time again throughout the movie. Clearly he was supposed to Andre Leon Tally, before I go in I know that many things in the movie were exaggerated however I do feel as if there are many truths to the film as well. Andre is clearly bigger and forward than American Vogue, so I find it sad when you hear rumors of Corriane Roitfield taking over before you hear his name.I feel he has what it takes to move the magazine and make it the successful trend maker that it used to be. If you think about it being the Editor at Vogue is similar to being a President circa 2006 "A black man ain't never gonna be president". Because if this happens then the lily white publication could become a jungle full of black models from AFRICA and destroy it's classy sophisticated magazine.
I don't feel that Anna Wintour is racist but I wouldn't be surprised or taken off guard if I found out she was. She probably doesn't know how to really communicate with people that make up the majority of what is considered lower class in Amerika who are black.If you ever get a chance to see pictures of her in shots with other people you can see that she is standoffish with almost everyone, even those that she likes and admires. Black people can sometimes be direct and not passive aggressive at all, and many black people tend to tell you how they feel when they feel they are being attacked, a feeling which comes from constantly being told that you are not as important as white people. This might disrupt her world and make her uncomfortable so she chooses not to even allow that kind of assumption come to life, which might scar her integrity. All in all what needs to happen is a Destruction, a Rebirth, and a New World Order in the fashion world.
