Naomi Campbell responds to racist 'Elle' Germany 'Black Is Back' editorial:
Elle Germany has come under fire for publishing a story in the November 2019 issue titled"Black Is Back," implying that Black models were a brand new trend on the runway — or just a"trend" at all. Within the article, a photo of Naomi Chin Wing was mislabeled and used to represent another model of color, Janaye Furman, and was featured alongside all of Furman's information.
Pulling from Diet Prada's call-out of the magazine, Campbell posted a carousel of photos and screenshots with a detailed response in the caption."This makes me so sad to see this, @bethannhardison @the_real_iman and I are here if you are not clear on the guidelines of diversity," Campbell writes."Your mistake is highly insulting in every way ... I've said countless times we are not a TREND. We are here to STAY.
Campbell goes on to address the misnamed models:"I too in my career have seen pictures of others models called me just because of the color of our skin, and recently seen many pictures of models of color being called being @adutakech... do you know what it feels like to do the job and not even be given the right name credit?"
Naomi Campbell on Instagram: “Dear sabine nedelchev @ellegermany This makes me so sad to see this, @bethannhardison @the_real_iman and I are here if you are not clear on…” Bethann Hardison, former model and co-founder of the Black Girls Coalition, responded to the situation in the comments on Campbell's post."Sabine Nedelchev @ellegermany It's disappointing that you could be the writer or editor of such a poorly featured article that indicates you are careless and uninformed," she wrote, adding,"Your staff should stay away from trying to be topical and speak of models of color.
