The fact that Robin put the spot light on the Black Models was more than enough for me their battles against adversity within their own social structure and within the modeling sorority were insightful and reavealing as to how black women cope with preconcieved notions about their beauty and strength, they new they were special and engaging and took the moment and ran with it and became a beacon for the fashionistas world wide though the moments in the sun for women of color are still far and few they paved the way for economics and color in fashion to be an obvious choice for any designer worth his salt to be called one because the caucasian woman in the ivory tower is'nt exactly who he/she designs for today and speaking of today the color spectrum is as varied as the women it covers yet still the spectre of what sells is of course the dominating force regardless of color but to give a look personality ....Black women did that in '73 in SPADES (pun intended).
