'Black creatives aren’t asking for special treatment. We’re asking for fairness, for justice, for safety and for equity.'
The entire system has been built for Black people to fail. The foundations of both Hollywood and the fashion industry are built on pillars of white privilege and solidarity. These are institutions that were not established with the success of Black people in mind and although several glass ceilings of racial injustices and discrimination have been shattered in the last five years.
Carter, who has skyrocketed to fame, styles Cardi B, and together the two have shifted the culture of fashion, transforming Cardi into a fashion icon in less than four years. However, working with Cardi has somewhat pigeonholed Carter, who has struggled to diversify his client list because, as he says, “My big break was with an artist and from that point on, I almost got, kind of cornered into a room or a space where it was just like, this is what you do and this is what you can do.
Since 2011, a list of Hollywood’s Most Powerful 25 Stylists has been published by The Hollywood Reporter, produced by Carol McColgin and her team, all of whom are predominantly white. This discriminatory list is the filter most publicists use to decide which stylists they will partner their top-tier talent with for major award season campaigns and blockbuster films of the year.
The odds are against us and it’s imperative that Black talent who shatter the glass ceilings and get to the top send the elevator back down.
