    I loved that she said Tom Ford personally asked her how she felt about chains with her dress because he didn’t want to just represent black women in chains. We need more designers like this who choose to be aware of micro aggressions and racially prejudiced symbols that have plagued the black community. The fact that he was mindful of this and made sure her voice on this outfit mattered is Everything!

    on another note, Tom Ford is the man for even considering the implication of a person of color in chains!!! RESPECT

      Really...are you that gullible...why put her in chains in the first place...then ask so he can get cover if it blew up...if you were in her shoes young, a foreigner, new to the business and you had this grand opportunity would you say no

      @@PanAfricanist if I were in her position..... and wearing chains of any kind were against my moral compass I would decline to wear them, no matter the cost. Do not presume to know how "gullible" I am. It is not your place. Nor it is your place to assume that Mr. Ford was attempting to "cover" himself simply by expressing an understanding of slavery. Had she been forced to wear chains against her will, or no thought had been given thereto, possibly there would be validity to your statements. Unfortunately, there are no facts within them. But the FACT still remains that Mr. Ford thought enough to ask. And that is enough. Good evening!

    The best models are the ones who are scouted. They’re always so down to earth and nonchalant about being a model or how they became a model
