Wild Things...Again





Don't get me wrong, Naomi looks gorgeous, but how many times are we going to see this trite depiction of a black woman, cloaked in animal-print, posing in some sort of jungle or rural setting. I thought that we've moved past these portrayals, but I see not much has changed...

I understand that most models have very little authority when it comes to their photoshoots, but as a fashion veteran, I would think that Naomi would have more authority than most. I don't think this shoot was intended to be offensive, but enough is enough, fashion is all about creativity, that being said, it's time to see some new ideas.
