Deddeh Howard a Black Model Re-Created Famous Campaigns to Push for More Diversity in Fashion

Deddeh Howard, a Liberia-born, L.A.-based model and blogger, was fed up with seeing fashion campaigns feature so few models of color. So, with the help of her photographer boyfriend Raffael Dickreuter, she re-created major campaigns from brands like Chanel and Gucci fronted by Gisele Bündchen, Gigi Hadid, Kate Moss, and more. She took three months to put it together, making sure photos would look as close to identical as possible from the clothes and accessories to the poses and expressions on her face.
Howard, 27, titled the project Black Mirror and launched it on her blog Tuesday with a call for more inclusivity in the fashion industry. "In a time where Black people too often are in the media for being underrepresented at important events such as the Oscars or make headlines for being targeted by the police I felt it was time to do something positive and inspiring about my race," she writes. "I'm personally fighting for more diversity."

A very interesting Trend that first appeared in 2015 that I cannot absolutely ignore or let go is the Lampshading Trend.
