Zac Posen's collection was more of a statement than a publicity.In a society,where "diversity" is a reigning problem,this collection was true to the cause-all the testament to the model lineup which was comprised almost entirely of gorgeous models of color like Aya Jones, Aamito Lagum, Cindy Bruna, Riley Montana and Grace Bol.
The inspiration was Princess Elizabeth of Toro, an Ugandan lawyer who became the first east African woman to be admitted into the English bar.She was also a successful model ,covered American Vogue in 1968 and was briefly the foreign minister of Uganda in the 1970s. Notwithstanding her color-be it black or white,she was an accomplished and beautiful woman(beauty and brains!).
In his show notes, Posen noted her "kind nature, stunning appearance and exceptional intellect."
