Venezuelan fashion designer, Carolina Herrera, is well known for her sophisticated, exquisite, chic and classic looks. She has styled notable clients including former first lady of the United States of America, Jacqueline Kennedy, popularly known for her great taste in fashion. Other first ladies she has dressed include Michelle Obama and Melania Trump. It’s quite interesting to see the level of diversity in the designer’s choice of models for her shows. In fact, as a woman of color herself, it makes sense that she will use her platform to promote others. We’re excited to announce that at least five African models were featured in her Fall 2022 ready-to-wear collection.
While other women of color were present, we spotted some from Kenya, South Sudan and Nigeria. It’s refreshing to see a growing number of African models penetrating the international modeling scene. Burberry, Chanel, Dior and several other international fashion giants have been increasingly including African models in their line ups.
Let’s take a look at those who appeared in Carolina Herrera’s Fall 2022 collection.
