42 year old R & B Singer, Erykah has been named the new face of Givenchy's 2014 campaign in the Label's new effort to break the fashion world's preferences for white women. The Label's Creative Director, Riccardo Tisci states that though her casting in the camp was unexpected, she is one of the most stylish women he has ever met in his life and was also part of Givenchy's inspiration for it's 2014 collection.
Riccardo said something very touching and for that he has my respect...he said and I quote: “It’s 2013. Everybody’s being so cool about Instagram, about Facebook, any media -- everybody’s being so open. At the end of the day, why are not so many black girls or Latin girls in shows? When you have an American president who is black! When I see this happening, it’s quite sad, I think. People can be so avant-garde, so advanced, but actually not, because people are still making differences between skin colour.”
Big up to Givenchy...Black girls rock...
