The models, however, were white doing blackface. I think it's perfectly fine to have a fashion shoot with that theme, but only if you're actually using black or African models. Having white women do it seems to imply a superiority of white models to non-white models, just as the fashion shoot you mentioned did. But to have them doing blackface is just despicable because all I can think about is the blackface in the late 19th and 20th centuries in which blackface was for the enjoyment of whites at the expense of African Americans. These two things combined just screams racism and the promotion of white superiority in modeling and in general as the shoots will have been seen all over the world.

If the majority of models that people in the fashion world dealt with, it wouldn't be an issue because make up artists would have to do this in order to work. However, because many people believe that there aren't many models of color or that Black isn't beautiful they don't know how or refuse to do it. Diminishing someone to simply being a color and saying that this color is undesirable is one of the worst things that someone can do. It definitely shouldn't be tolerated.
