Please read the paragraph below from.. www.Dazeddigital.com pay attention to the last line before you pull out those Blue Balenciagas… **************************** Gucci has just revealed its latest campaign – a tribute to Northern Soul featuring an all-black model cast. These images were inspired by last year’s Made You Look exhibition at the Photographer’s Gallery, an exploration of black masculinity and Dandyism. They were further influenced by iconic 60s photographer Malick Sidibé, renowned for his black and white studio portraits in Mali, as well as Northern Soul, a 60s movement inspired by black American soul music that made clubs like the Wigan Casino famous. Featuring dancers as well as models, they pull moves true to the splits and backdrops associated with the subculture’s dance style. The Glen Luchford-shot campaign entitled ‘Soul Scene’ only features people of colour – and comes at a time when fashion brands are under increased scrutiny for the lack of diverse casting on their runways. The most recent incident revolved around agent James Scully, who took to Instagram to criticise the lack of diversity on Paris catwalks, as well as the poor treatment of models at a Balenciaga casting. #Couture #Fashion #HighFashion #Style #Gucci #Soul #NortherSoul #photgraphy #MalickSidibe #GlenLuchford #gallery #Ballenciaga #SoulScene #WiganCasino #AfricanAmerican #paris #Fashionweek #SpringCollection #summerCollection #Models #Runway
