In the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, supermodel Naomi Campbell featured in a video, published by Reuters news agency, which discussed the subject of diversity in high fashion.
“The fight for equality and for diversity, has been a long journey in society and in the fashion industry” Campbell said, “today, in 2020, we still have a long way to go.”
Campbell helped launch a campaign within fashion, called Access All.
The supermodel concluded:
“A powerful sense of urgency has been spoken out aloud, around the world, with the Black Lives Matter movement. This is a call for action that we are making as we hope that this is a conversation that is starting now, and will last for as long as it is needed.”
UPDATE: following a request from Reuters, their video originally posted alongside this article has been removed.

Fashion has always been a little bit slow to evolve when it comes to this type of thing. Good if they are coming into the 21st century… but I will believe it when it actually happens.
