The dominance of Caucasian models on the runways and in magazine editorials was the hot-button topic of last night’s “Live From NYPL” series at the New York Public Library. Bethann Hardison was the moderator, with panelists James Scully, Lori Goldstein, and Tracy Reese weighing in. Iman, Vera Wang, and Pulitzer Prize winner Robin Givhan of The Washington Post were in the sold-out audience of industry players. The consensus was that the debate was a good way to bring awareness to the problem. “I love how stimulated everyone is on the subject; it will eventually effect change,” said Tracy Reese when we caught up with her after the talk. Goldstein chimed in, saying the event was “amazing; conversation is the key.” Iman, who experienced discrimination firsthand as a model, agreed. “If I didn’t believe change could come, I wouldn’t be here,” she told us.
