The other day I got a phone call from Russell, we had a long conversation about a bunch of things. Somewhere during this conversation we created a list of his favorite models of color. We decided to do this list because there is an amazing lack of diversity and lack of appreciation for black women in the fashion industry. Russell admits that his list may be a little warped but it's his personal list of some fine ass women. We here at Globalgrind are smart enough to know that no man is an authority on women, but these are his choices and we wanted to share them with you. What do you think? Who is on your list?

 

Veronica Webb

Kiara Kabukuru

Katie Rost

Kara Young

Jessica White

Selita Ebanks

Chanel Iman

Noemie Lenoir

Porschla Coleman

Heidy Allende

  • Beautiful pics, it's good to know that beautiful women can be appreciated' this creation-of-God, it's been a while for me, only wish I could once-again appreciate the "warmth of a women" in these up and coming cold months, not (just for sex) or lacking-intimacy; but someone to truly love and> devote to.
  • Their beauty reminds me of what an empty and lonely life I am living. Still, it's nice to know they exist.
  • RUSSELL AIN'T KNOW sh*t ABOUT BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMEN 'thats why he puts white women on his list'HA HA

  • KENYA MOORE IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN( miss america)
    SHE IS number 1 one my list
  • Are all these beautiful women of color? Some are suspects!
  • Love you Russell....Probably the only black Guy I'd ever date....Smart guy
  • Love the list!!!! There was a black model from the early-mid 90's (right around the time Kiara was becoming HUGE!) named Delcenia Griffin. She was with Ford. The industry missed the boat with this chick, and Ford clearly didn't know what they had! She was a regular in Essence, and did some Saks catalog stuff. I met her a couple of times in nyc, she was in her early 20's at that time. She was a "model-mom" before it was popular to be one...I think her daughter was very young at the time. Beautiful, intelligent, down-to-earth, country chick that loved the city. :)
