.BethannHardison, a longtime fighter for representation for people of color, is the fashion industry’s conscience. And when the fashion industry fumbles, this educator and advocate shows it the way forward. Here's how:
I’m so inspired by emerging designers. And then that thing happened with Gucci and the balaclava sweater that people thought was blackface. The bombardment of that was such a shock to them. So I met with them. My take on this thing was different from the average person’s because I didn’t see the sweater as being blackface. But it’s in the eye of the beholder.Well, they needed a strong voice.
When I used to book models, I wouldn’t take a girl just because she was Black. If they sent me somebody who wasn’t right because they thought I would take anybody, no.Do you think designers of color are getting more support on the business side now? Who stands out to you?I don’t see that yet. I wouldn’t bring anyone into the group we are advising unless they have a brand. But these are emerging designers.
