Jay Versace called out over post about African looking models

[Black Steph Curry]

Although on a gut level i see what he's saying, dude painted with too broad a brush by using the the word african. If he were to narrow it down to nilotic women, who most likely have the "look" he had in mind, his comment would hold more merit and be better recieved.

It also comes down to more than just facial features. Nilotic people are often taller, skinnier, with longer limbs than other Africans. Good for modeling clothes. In high fashion you're pretty much a living breathing mannequin for the designs that a fashion house puts out. It's why somebody like a Grace Jones can find so much success despite so many people calling her ugly.

It ain't about simply being pretty in that world.

dark complexion extremely thin & bald headed

that's what they like & i think they like to draw the contrast between what is considered beautiful versus what is considered interesting

then the countless editorials where they play these young mainly south.sudanese models off with styling that doesn't compliment them

that alek wek shyte
