"Renee
Thompson is trying to make it as a top model in New York. She's got the
looks, the walk and the drive. But she's a black model in a world where
white women represent the standard of beauty. Agencies rarely hire
black models. And when they do, they want them to look "like white girls
dipped in chocolate"
The
Colour of Beauty is a shocking short documentary that examines racism
in the fashion industry. Is a black model less attractive to designers,
casting directors and consumers?" EbonyJet
