Fashion's Race Problem: Photographer Exposes Industry Bias
SHOCKING TRUTHS EXPOSED: Royal Family, Beauty Industry, and Politics Under Fire!
In a world where racism is still an ugly reality, two shocking revelations have left us reeling. First, Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding photographer, Alexi Lubomirski, has come forward to expose the insidious issue of racial prejudice in the beauty industry.
Lubomirski, who took the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's official engagement photos, claims that he was told by a senior magazine editor: "Black girls don't carry high fashion." The 50-year-old photographer, descended from Polish aristocracy, says this comment sparked an investigation into his own archives, revealing a disturbing pattern of lighter skin tones being used on darker-skinned models.
But that's not all! Lubomirski also revealed that he was told by another editor-in-chief: "The fact is, dark-skinned girls and other ethnicity can't carry high fashion." This jaw-dropping admission has left many wondering how deep-seated these biases are within the industry.
