This image of top fashion model Naomi Sims is an outtake from the Oct. 17, 1969 cover story - BLACK MODELS TAKE CENTER STAGE. Although the article focuses on many of the great successes that black women had made in the modeling industry, it does admit that there was still a long way to go. “Most black models still have to depend on black publications for the bulk of their income and feel they have not reached real equality.” Naomi Sims is also quoted - “I think for any young woman who qualifies, modeling is the most splendid job to have, but I wouldn’t want to continue in the spotlight forever…To always be aware of your face, your figure, to always have to wonder if your hair and nails are perfect—it’s not healthy. Maybe for a few years. Not for a lifetime.” (Yale Joel—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #fashionfriday #LIFElegends #NaomiSims
