HISTORY OF BLACK FASHION MODELS
You see models in magazines, websites, and on the catwalk, yet black women and men lack representation and are squeezed out of this highly competitive career. The very low percentage of black fashion models is still controversial. The history of black models looks back at a long history of many fights and rare victories.
It may not be surprising that the first black models were employed in stereotypical roles to promote products associated with slavery, colonialism, and servitude. Born in South Africa, Maurice Hunter, the first black model, was employed in 1918. This was only to play the role of butlers, drivers, and porters in ads for cigarettes or alcohol. He was there to mimic public perception of his role in society.
