- The inspiring model in me feels like I have to post this:
Naomi Sims, the first black supermodel, died today at the age of 61. "Sims, who died of cancer over the weekend at age 61, according toThe New York Times, broke major race barriers when she appeared on the cover ofLadies' Home Journal in November 1968, a time when few black faces were seen anywhere in the media. She went on to model for Halston, Giorgio di Sant'Angelo, and the covers of a New York Timesfashion magazine and LIFE, above. Not that those jobs were easily won--when agency after agency rejected Sims because of her skin color, she started sending out her own information to photographers and cut a deal with the soon-to-be-very-important Wilhemina Cooper that essentially had her doing all of her own promotion but using Wilhemina's phone number and giving her a cut if jobs did appear."It’s ‘in’ to use me, and maybe some people do it when they don’t really like me. But even if they are prejudiced, they have to be tactful if they want a good picture,"Sims once said. After her success in front of the camera, she quit the business to pursue a multimillion dollar beauty empire (she had plenty of experience doing her own hair and makeup, because stylists on set frequently didn't know how to work with her dark skin." ~ Glamor.com
She opened up the doors for models such as Naomi Campbell, Iman, Trya Banks and
and Beverly Johnson. So thank you Ms. Sims for everything you have contributed to society and especially in the fashion industry and "breaking the mold." And thank you to all of the present model idols who continue to "break the mold!"
