Last month, tents were pitched and chairs unfolded for Fall/Winter 2013 Fashion Week, where 151 shows and live presentations took place showcasing a grand total of 4,479 outfits. Of these 4,479 outfits, Jezebel reports, a whopping 3,706 (82.7 percent) were paraded down the runway by white models. The breakdown of the remaining numbers is dismal, with black models making up only 6 percent of the total. This glaring, systematic exclusion of minorities is a sting felt by even the most successful of fashion models.
