Chanel Iman Brings Black Back at Gucci Spring 2009

>> Jourdan Dunn broke down barriers last season at Prada, becoming the first black woman to walk for the house in ten years, and now Chanel Iman is having her moment.  Earlier today, she walked at Gucci twice, becoming the first black woman to walk for the house since the Tom Ford era ended in 2005 and current creative director Frida Giannini took over.

I guess Fri did better than Gucci's house. Being international fashion houses almost demands and international runway as they are trying to appeal to all sophisticated, modern, trendy, en vogue women.

I actually meant Frida did better than Yves Saint Laurent's house. But yeah queenusa, I couldn't have put in any better words.
