There are hundreds of white models but only a few black ones. So you keep seeing the same ones over and over again.
New York is not quite as bad as London and Milan: British Vogue has not had a black model on its cover since Naomi Campbell last appeared in 2002. That was five years ago.
Paris is the worst: the Paris fashion show in 2007 had only one black model! Black modelling agencies that were started in Paris have either closed or shifted their business.
The Elite modelling agency, which discovered Naomi Campbell, has only two black models. Its agency in Paris says there is not enough work for more black models: Asians and Arabs do not like to see black women. But is Elite much better when it comes to Asian and Arab models? If Elite is to be believed, Asian and Arab women dream of being tall, thin white women with yellow hair. That is why there are so few black models!
Sometimes when modelling agencies try to send black models to fashion designers and magazines they are told not to send any more.
