The 2000’s and the White Out. Casting agents, celebrities, fashion designers, magazine editors, and top Black models discuss the White Out, the years between the mid-nineties and mid-2010’s when the Black model disappeared from the fashion runways. In revealing interviews, trailblazers Edward Enninful, Bethann Hardison and Iman, and top models Cindy Bruna, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdana Phillips, Joan Smalls, and Jeneil Williams share personal stories about a controversial era in fashion.
