Noemie Lenoir & Karl Lagerfeld talk about race in fashion (it's in French) video:


Y a-t-il du racisme dans la mode? They disagree .Karl said that's there is no racism in fashion. Noemie said the contrary. Then karl said she 's the proof there 's no racism because she 's famous. Noemie argues that's she not black nor white, she"between the two" and that' actually biracial's the new trend. Karl ask if it was hard. She didn't say that ,especially thanks to people like karl who've begun to involve black models in fashion. Karl said:don't say black it's rude. Noemie:brown if you prefer. The gist of the interview is that coloured girls rarely make it big time as models in the fashion world. Karl Lagerfeld does not think it is racism but more a case of the culture and style of non whites not being geared to high fashion. There have been a few successful black models like Naomi Campbell and Daria taken on by great couture houses and that have become stars, but on the whole white or mixed-race models are more successful. Chinese or Japanese, and Indian models are practically unknown for instance, and there are no great couture designers from those continents, a fact with which Noémie agrees. The black girls that have been taken on by great names in the fashion world have been picked because of their particular style. Noémie Lenoir , who is mixed-race, thinks there is definitely some prejudice in the fashion industry and states that, although she has an advantage since her complexion does not have the same flaws as white girls when they are ill and is consistent in photo shoots, she has felt that she was not held in the same consideration. She does not think using the word "black" is insulting, where as Karl does. Although it has not been actually said to her in so many words that she was inferior because she is bi-racial, she has been made to feel it. When Karl said that there was not the same interest in high fashion amongst black people, she disagreed, saying that wealthy blacks and rappers did buy haute couture clothes, and more black women were buying names like Channel or Louis Vuiton. Karl stated that couturiers obviously went for names that were already famous like Claudia Shiffer, Kate Moss or Daria. He does think that there is a degree of injustice in the proportion of white models being employed in relation to others, and that the fashion world is unjust by definition. The conclusion of the interview was that people would have to wait for the discovery of new stars like Iman or Naomi to see more black models on the famous catwalks. To sum up the end, Karl makes the conclusion that there's not a lot of black models (nor chinese or japanese) because there's no black model who's sufficiently special to be a star today.
