Yesssss I love this. Fashion/model archive history!!! I remember doing a report in grade school on Naomi Sims. From Mississippi to the cover of Ladies Home journal. More of these please!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Gorg…really…love these longer form visual essays…you could almost make one longer video with related episodes like chapters back to back! Your flow is soooo good…yum! 😋
You forgot to add. The reason that YSL advertised in Ebony was because Eunice Johnson bought a outrageous amount of couture (Ebony Fashion Fair) YSL reckonized this, he applaued this and returned the favor.
...it was a natural companionship because his MAKEUP in particular came in the shades black women could rock...particularly his LIP COLORS...ESSENCE MAGAZINE...every season would feature them...i am very sorry that THE EBONY FASHION FAIR EXHIBIT...did not come to SAN FRANCISCO ...EUNICE was the woman that bought the MOST HAUTE COUTURE in HISTORY...yes for the fashion shows and for spreads in the magazines...love her may she rest in peace....
Here we go I'm shooting from the dome so we have, Fidelia Jacqueline Matisse, Mounia Ossumare, Rebecca Ayoko, Amalia Virelli, Khadijah Adam's, Rosalind Johnson, Katoucha Niane, Roshumba Williams, Naomi Campbell,Pat Cleveland,Beverly Peele, Romeny Williams, Sonia Cole, Anne Fiona Scolley, Alek Wek too many names so many faces. Yves St. Laurent was a champion for black models as evidenced by Iman going to see him and shocked at the amount of black girls who came to the castings, not to mention the in house fit models were black at St. Laurent. And yes! Yes!! You brought it, and I'm buying it all!!! You just earned your wings to run wild in the fashion archives, yes again.🎉❤ P.S. Amalia Virelli is still modeling. She must be at least in her late 60's by now, but time did little to age her figure. She is still:snatched" and walks way better than the young ones.🎉🎉🎉
Wow! I love your commentary and your research was so detailed. I wish this video was longer! I just shared this across my company chat channel for Black History Month( I work in he fashion industry) and everyone loved it! keep up the phenomenal work
He also loved Asian models. Remember he grew up in Algeria so he grew up surrounded by beautiful women of color. It is part of his being. All white models was strange to him.
Algerians are mostly light skinned. And why feel the need to diss light skinned women? YSL didn’t think white models were strange. What an absurd comment to make. He loved women period.
@@juliad368 what an idiotic comment you just made! Who is dissing white women? They are the standard in western fashion. How many models of color did the man Christian Dior actually use? ZERO! How about Coco Chanel? ZERO again! She used white models exclusively. It is a shame you can not see how groundbreaking it was for Mr. Saint Laurent to use African models. Please get your racism under control.
He was a European ,born in Algeria! He loved lots of cultures.
I am an older Latino Male. Yves Saint Laurent , a legendary fashion designer!
