NYFW's Hidden Struggle: A Black Model's Race Against Time

Behind the Scenes at NYFW: A Black Model's Race Against Time New York Fashion Week (NYFW) is a whirlwind of activity, but for Black models, the pressure can be even more intense. This week, a video went viral showcasing the unexpected challenges faced by one model. The video, filmed in POV style, follows the model as she realizes she's forgotten her foundation just before a crucial NYFW job. Instead of panicking, she heads to Sephora, quickly applies her own makeup, and returns to the job. The video's relatability has resonated with many, highlighting the often overlooked realities of the fashion industry. "I normally bring my own foundation, but I let my guard down," the model explains in the video. "This was my first job of the day, and I didn't want to carry a makeup bag all day." The video underscores the importance of representation and the need for better support systems for models of color. The positive response to the video suggests a growing awareness of these issues and a desire for greater inclusivity in the fashion world.
