With the recent passing of Naomi Sims, the first black model on the cover of Ladies’ Home Journal in November 1968, I pondered the strides made by women of color in fashion.
Not only are more women of color represented on the runways, but we are represented in the store windows as well. I was bit hard-pressed to find these darker hue dolls, but I uncovered a few. While unearthing the black mannequins, I dredged up the black mannequins that caused controversy a couple years ago.
Should black mannequins be hanging by chains in windows? Is it being fashion forward?
