Bethann Hardison and Bruce Weber at last night’s Gordon Parks Foundation gala
I was just catching up with Bethann Hardison, who is the woman mostly responsible for our seeing more black models on the runways these days, and was happy to hear that she’s moving full steam ahead on her documentary, “Invisible Beauty.” The film will chronicle the movement she began in New York to highlight racism in fashion from her town hall forums in Manhattan to the now iconic black edition of Vogue Italia to the aftermath of a worldwide moment. She presented Liya Kebede with an award at the Gordon Parks Foundation gala in New York last night, where she encouraged the audience, which included Anna Wintour, Bruce Weber and Ralph Lauren, to nurture more photographers of color for the industry.
