Wayne, I'm certainly not advocating a return to oldness and without newness, fashion would die as fashion is a constantly evolving creature. But I do have a concern with the direction that the industry has evolved -- one of very little color and a very,very,very thin girl. It's wrong on so many levels, especially when most girls of non-European heritage aren't given the same opportunity and level of acceptance. Even sadder, most of us involved in fashion have been conditioned to accept the "super young, white, skinny girl" as the fashion norm.

Believe me, just like you, I love seeing models light up a catwalk! It's electrifying! But at the same time, I'd like to see girls of other shades and body types given equal opportunity.

And I truly believe this is the reason we're seeing Naomi, Claudia and Christy back in the campaigns. I believe it's only temporary but I think it's the result of a frustrated public that's tired of seeing something that's not reflecting their image. Linda and Kate are different fashion animals altogether but I digress.
