Black But Invisible : Start supporting NOW!



Black But Invisible: 'We see things in colour not just black & white.' 

Black BUT Invisible Campaign


The Black But Invisible campaign is openly challenging the British fashion industry for its failure to use black models within all genres of fashion. The Black But Invisible campaign was launched in 2008 by Mahogany Models Management (MMM). Black But Invisible  has been created to question the industry on the lack of black models used in mainstream fashion and therefore evoke a change.  

The lack of models of colour within fashion campaigns has been recognised worldwide; however the UK fashion industry continues to turn a blind eye to the problem and has made very little effort to address the issue.

Chief Executive of MMM, Sola Oyebade said, 

"We feel now is the time to say 'Black is back' and the fashion industry must start using more models of colour within mainstream fashions shows and advertising campaigns. As a modelling agency that represents models of colour, we have to sweat blood to ensure our models are booked. The UK fashion industry is still living in prehistoric times and lacking behind the rest of the world. It’s fair to say that the UK fashion industry is institutionally racist." 

Help support and make colour stand out!!
