Black models of fashion who discussed profoundly regarding racial prejudice before-'Adut Akech, Ebonee Davis, Jourdan Dunn'

The fashion industry has a long history of racial prejudice, uniqueness and the issue of integration that can be described best mostly by industry insiders. Season after season, there's literally no fashion week without a complaint about racial prejudice and several creatives, including a slew of models, have already spoken up in the past in acknowledging this unequal treatment. Even though, when it comes to modeling, the prejudice against age and body size goes beyond the skin tone. However, there has been a big spike in the mean difference in recent times kudos to supermodels like Naomi Campbell, Chanel Iman and many others on the forefront to fight for equality and fairness. A brief look at the black models below that were unable to avoid the temptation to articulate their discriminatory encounter.

Adut Akech

Adut Akech is a skilled South Sudanese-Australian model whose career during Saint Laurent S/S '17 show was skyrocketing after making her fashion week runway debut. Last year, due to the racial discriminatory practices, the 20-year-old model had entered a social media scuffle with Australian magazine. Akech was showcased on Who magazine's cover but eventually realised that her image was misidentified as the Flavia Lazarus model image. The Sudanese beauty, while conveying their dissatisfaction, called out the magazine. It was a "administrative error" for the error, according to Who magazine, but the model maintained that there was no justification for such an error.

Having spoken to ABC Radio Melbourne, the model made it apparent that it wasn't her first emotion of being prejudiced against and this one has to be resolved. "I had been really silent about it the first time it happened," she told ABC Radio. "But I think this one was much too subjective and not just subjective [to] me but it also affected a lot of people. Speaking of the issue on social media, the model called the situation "unacceptable and inexcusable under any circumstances," she added, "people are very uninformed and narrow-minded that they believe that every black woman or African individual looks the same."

Ebonee Davis

The model Ebonee Davis obviously is a revolutionary when it comes to talking up. She is the no-nonsense icon and is renowned for calling out brands irrespective of who is involved. Just do what's right and she won't have your time.

The afro-chic model published an honest open letter to the fashion industry in 2016, critiquing how beauty is interpreted by the industry and also urged others not to remain silent but to use their channels to speak against such racial discrimination. "Use your platform instead of standing by in silence, to speak out against injustice," she said. "We are the personification of free speech as artists in the fashion industry," she further remarked. "The stories we tell — fashion, the facilitator of cool, we set the tone for society, decide and determine what is beautiful and justifiable."

Jourdan Dunn

Jourdan Dunn was not excluded, like any other black model. She's experienced the worst after her abusive confrontation with a makeup artist, the 29-year-old English supermodel just can not stay quiet in 2011. Having landed promotions for Yves Saint Laurent, Tommy Hilfiger and Burberry at the time, graced Vogue Italia's and Teen Vogue 's cover, and won Model Of The Year at the 2008 British Fashion Awards, Dunn was also facing racism.

In 2011, the model made complaints regarding how she was black because a makeup artist said that she couldn't work on her face. This was not a case of a white makeup artist not knowing how to apply cosmetics to a darker skin tone — it was actually racism. "The model shared her grievances in a tweet, saying other makeup artists should understand how to cope with the hair or skin of a black woman.
