“I talked to young models and I asked them, ‘What is the most upsetting thing that is happening to you guys now?'” Iman says. “And singularly they said they would go to go-sees — especially when there is the fashion shows coming up — and they would say to them, ‘We’re not using black models this season.’ Like it’s a category — like we’re not doing denim this season. It’s very upsetting.”

Iman and Ubah Hassan – veteran and newcomer Somalian models, speak on the struggles non-white models face in the fashion industry. Ubah, the spring face of Ralph Lauren, talks about what that casting was like and Iman speaks on the “Obama effect”. Ummmhhhmmm.
