S/S 08 Collection for Lanvin It seems designers are finally responding to the discontent over the absence of black models on the runways by having more diverse castings this season. So it looks like the amount of press that has been stirring up recently, surrounding the lack of diversity in fashion is beginning to take precedence for some. Yesterday we told you about the Dsquared show in Milan and it seems that it may carry over into Paris as well. Its been rumored that Alber Elbaz for Lanvin has decided to book ONLY ethnic models for their menswear show next week. Fitting news to report on the day that the anticipated Vogue Italia hits newsstands in the UK. We must point out, however, that while this is all extremely exciting, Sean "Diddy" Combs started it when he showed his fall 2008 Sean John collection with an all-black cast at New York Fashion Week back in February. I'm anxious to see what lead menswear designer, Lucas Ossendrijver has done for us this season.
