No One Wants Latina Models

Jezebel wrote a really interesting piece this week breaking down New York’s fashion week by “color,” and ultimately finding that no one wants Latina models.  As they wrote:

“3,410 of those opportunities, or 81.8%, went to white models. That means of course that 760, or 18.2%, went to models who were non-white. Non-white Latina models were used 95 times in all of fashion week, or around 2.3% of the time, and Asian models were used 296 times, or 7.1% of the time. Black models were used 353 times, or 8.4% of the time. Models of other races, like the Moroccan Hind Sahli and the Canadian model Tara Gill, who has Native American heritage, were used 16 times, or 0.4% of the time.”

Que gacho.  The chart below also came from Jezebel.
