Is this a common trend across the whole fashion industry now? Black models outnumbering white ones?
No offence, but clothes look completely different on blacks than they do on whites. I can't tell if something is going to look good on me when its modelled by a black man. Is it the same with female models?
Anyone would think this was a conspiracy or something...
Angel Green
black people can fashion too
Logan Barnes
Nah that's just asos. They seem to have over dosed on it
I'm not even racist or nothing but when I browse that catalog I find myself wondering where this world is headed
It's not that it even bothers me it just kinda confuses me more than anything
James Miller
I think you know where it's headed but liberal brainwashing makes you keep your mouth shut.
Owen Sanchez
>I'm not even racist lmao
>I find myself wondering where this world is headed lets hear those thoughts buddy
Blake Watson
If you have no problem with majority white models but do have a problem with majority black you are in fact racist.
Leo Gray
I mean ASOS is a streetwear shop and streetwear was originally worn only by blacks.
You're right about clothes looking different on them though, how the colors work with your skin tone is important.
Kevin Wood
isn't it just to help people see what would look good on their skintone?
idgaf about the model colour but I mean sometimes it's useful to see someone of similar skintone so you can determine how something would look on you before buying.
Zachary Turner
stop race baiting on Veeky Forums you cunts
Jack King
>tfw u never even noticed that trend and all of the sudden it gets pointed out by an insecure racist on Veeky Forums and now u cant unsee this op stop spreading the racism disease stop crying i know its uncomfortable for u to see people of other races than white succeed
Jason Clark
A lot of brands are doing this at the moment, even here in the Netherlands. I shouldn't mind it 'cause I'm not racist, but this is the first that black people are over represented in media instead of crime stats. The thing that's disconcerting is that everyone seems to be doing it at the same moment, I hope it's just a fad.
Andrew Anderson
These. Who the fuck cares, get over it
Thomas Flores

Aiden Thompson
Well, the thing is that most western countries are majority white, so even from the ideal of representation it's completely outta whack. We wouldn't blink an eye seeing Japanese models in Japan for example.
In some way this drive for representation is quite dehumanizing. A model is not selected for his or her look but rather for their ethnicity. It's gone from applying the same standards for everyone, namely beauty to using ethnicity as a prop.
Brandon Brown
blacks are used because of the black mannequin trick, anything looks good on them.
Connor Gray
Stop getting so worked up over an observation
It's just interesting more than anything it's definitely something I notice. I wouldn't say it bothers me much at all but I've just taken notice, nothing more.
I swear people on Veeky Forums are so paranoid about race. Every time somebody brings up anything race related theres post after post of over sensitive faggots calling them a racist. Kys
Kayden Jackson
When will it kick in for you? 5 years? A decade? Look around you. Say goodbye to your nation, it's not for you anymore.
Connor Smith
>, but this is the first that black people are over represented in media instead of crime stats this, Australia. In the past 5 years crime have spiked greatly because of solami immigrants. The teens act like retards even when given everything and form gangs.
"immigration" happens everywhere. Even america
Jack Walker
What's with all this autistic screeching he asked a perfectly reasonable question
Juan Ross
My sisters bf got robbed by some niggers in brisbane just a few days ago. They came around to buy a iPhone off gum tree and when he let them have a look at it they did a runner
Jonathan Long
A tan skintone, like 7 out of 9 of these guys have, is in between white and black. Seems perfect if they're trying to get everyone to buy their clothes. And they just look good against a tan skin color
Noah Price
classic, ive always hated using gumtree for this reason, but never had any issues. Tell him to report the IMEI number as stolen if he hasnt
Charles Ramirez
This is why you meet up at a bank or police station. Your sister's bf is a dolt
Hunter Myers
that isnt a tan skin tone, thats full on brown. you hide the faces and the only ones that look "tan" are mid left and mid mid, and thats only because of the excess lighting.
Brandon Green
thats not always possible, like i sold a desk on gumtree, no way i could have got it to a police station since i didnt have an SUV. He should have had a gun with him. Oh wait i forget only islamic extremists are allowed to
Aaron Johnson
Yeah but he was selling an iPhone, not a desk
Julian Miller
Between ghost-looking white guys and black guys who almost look purple, I'd say he's in the middle of the spectrum
Bentley Martin
which is still closer to black because of the weight of color. its closer to 2/3 in fact since the scale has more browns than whites (something like 1:3)
Parker Jones
>just asos
Zara too
Asher Rivera
"I can't tell if something is going to look good on me when its modeled by a black man." Do you see why it's so important for people with other skin tones to be prevalent? Most of the times I order something wondering how exactly it'll look with my skin tone. (I do agree it's a bit too much though.)
Caleb Russell
So would you say olive-skinned would be more ideally the middle of the spectrum rather than this shade?
David Ross
>zara too topman and topshop too I would have said ssense for the past 1000 years but theyre using some asian guy
Alexander Edwards
closer, in fact asian skintones are closer to the mid range in realistic expression since pure black and albinos are rare, not just in terms of position on a scale but weight of the color
Cameron Williams
pffffffffffffffffffffft, hardly...
Jaxon Harris
>anyone would think this was a conspiracy or something
a) asos is part of an international conspiracy to erase all the whites because (???) or b) dunno maybe they did some demo tests and found out their black audience segment is growing so theyre leaning their marketing toward a growing target demo
yep definitely the first one
Blake Ross
SWEDEN!
Isaiah Brown
You don't want all whiteys to die? Are you fucking racists or something? It's 2017, stop being problematic.
Daniel Torres
>No offence, but clothes look completely different on blacks than they do on whites No fucking shit. And clothes look completely different on fit models than average and overweight guys. Get over it. You sound no different than the fat acceptance losers.
William Lewis
youre right, i should just go out and become black... skin color has nothing to do with fat acceptance
Nathan Howard
It's because black people have more sex appeal than whites. It's the same reason black men dominate porn
Nobody wants to look at a pin divked pale white guy fucking a girl and nobody wants to see a pudgy bodied white boy in clothes, not even other white guys
Jason Phillips
Why worry? If you are white, then this trend will only make you that much more special.
>muh white people percentage
Stfu you don't even care about your own extended family.
Thomas Edwards
>It's the same reason black men dominate porn yeah (((no)))
Xavier Clark
shill race bating thread
sage and hide
Andrew Cox
Just know that shitkins and niggers will always be the lower caste.
Carter Hughes
>cumskin logic
Matthew Thompson
Btw. If you are white but have disgusting brown eyes, then you're pretty much as good as a shitkin and should seriously consider suicide.
Henry Gonzalez
>clothes look completely different on blacks than they do on whites
these are literally plain colored shirts. they aren't going to be drastically different
grow up
Carson Davis
Hello nigger
Ryder Robinson
dark eyes with light hair is hot, faggot
Leo Flores
TFW when youre so dense you think your preference should be the only one
Ryan Garcia
Niggers only have sex appeal because women are attracted to the "bad boy", and if crime statistics say anything about niggers it's that they really do embody the "bad" stereotype.
Innately niggers are no more attractive than white, but cultural pressures do make women want what are currently considered more "masculine" men.
Caleb Long
I never buy a piece if a black model is wearing it. I'll buy it from somewhere else.
Angel Gonzalez
literally a non-issue
Colton Sanders
are you a literal moron?
Logan Bailey
underrated post
Parker Evans
who gives a flying fuck
Josiah Sanders
>originally worn only by blacks you are straight up wrong actually pinpointing the beginning of 'streetwear' is basically impossible but generally it's considered to have started among white surfers and skaters in the late 70s/early 80s, brands like Stussy, Vans and whole bunch of defunct surf brands.
Aaron Sanders
Most of them have partly white heritage 1/4 or more, otherwise they would look like chimps of africa.
Isaiah Morgan
white people do you shitskins, because as he said blacks have different bodies and clothes look different
Asher Hall
Go fuck yourself. I'm looking through fashion blogs and lookbooks and 80% are white and I have no idea if that shit will look good on my skin color too
Christopher Cox
Black """people""" wouldn't even be speaking English if we weren't so generous as to let you stay in our countries. Go back to africa.
