New York Fashion Week: Progressive But Lacks Diversity

Being a lifetime lover of fashion, but a young, fresh face to the scene, I had a chance to see everything and judge for my own eyes. I admit, when I did my pre-Fashion Week research, I was disappointed, but not surprised by the lack of diversity in the overall show itinerary. Yet on a positive note, I did meet a lot of young fashion insiders who are definitely on the right track to becoming one of those names and faces that the industry holds to a higher standard.

Take a minute to watch this video made about the presence of Black artists in the 2012 Fall New York Fashion Week. Being young lovers of fashion, how do you feel about this issue? Does it discourage or empower you to follow your dreams?
