Hoping to recreate the success of African-born models such as Alek Wek and Iman, Naomi wants to recruit more models from Africa by starting her own modeling agency. "I hardly come on the front pages of the London Vogue magazine," Naomi said. "Only white models, some of whom are not as prominent as I am, are put on the front pages." Case in point: the August issue of Harper's featured not a single black model within its editorial pages, and of course the runways are notoriously white-bread. It's about time for a change. After all, how many impossibly skinny Russian girls can you look at before becoming totally bored? Looking on the bright side, up-and-coming model Chanel Iman has been picked as a Gap girl.
