But I've decided to correct my mistake! (and leave the last post on the blog as proof).
I talked about how immigration was affecting the way American designer create their work. But I found a new, more interesting way to approach the topic (and in the fashion industry as well!).
I'm going to talk to you about three top american fashion models:
Chanel Iman: Robinson was born in Atlanta, Georgia to China Robinson of Korean heritage and an African American father.
Bianca Gomez: Born in Azusa, California. Both of her parents are Mexican.
Vanessa Hessler: Born in Rome, Italy. She moved to Washington D.C. when she was 8 years old.
These three supermodels who call themselves Americans have toured the World thanks to their modeling career. You wouldn't know by looking at them on the cover of a magazine, but these beauties have probably suffered the struggles any other immigrant has: culture clash, rejection, racism.
When people think of immigrants, people think of poor, uncultured and detrimental individuals. So it's interesting to take these models, who are all successful business (and in this case beautiful) women and call them immigrants.
So often immigration is immediately listed as negative. But what about these "model" immigrants?

I agree with R.C.. People tend to ignore the fact that that those successful models are immigrants too when there are new labels on them, which is pathetic. I understantd America is a country with elites from all over the world. But when it comes to immigrants, why people care more of some issues than others. Originally, immigrants should be treated the same. It's unfair for other immigrants who also work hard but do not have that much fame. It's so true that people see what they choose to see.
