The future is bright! It's refreshing to see more and more black models taking the fashion world by storm, booking the most coveted campaigns, landing on the cover of magazines and walking for the hottest designers. 

The feature on Essence.com lists the top black supermodels of our time dating back to the 1950's. The list included Canadian-born Lana Ogilvie, but did not include fellow Canadian, Yasmin Warsame who I think should be included in the list. Hey, what do I know though?

"Refreshing" is the perfect word! All those women are so gorgeous. I'm glad to see the industry continue to open up. :)
