In an interview with Reuters, she said, ” In so many ways, but most importantly the diversity. It’s finally ... sunken in but now we hope people don’t think it’s in for a trend, like clothes are in for a season and out for a season, that’s not going to happen.”

Asked if African designers were finally getting recognition, she said, “We’re on our way, we’re not there yet, but we’re getting the platform they deserve to have.”

The stunner has openly spoken about this issue throughout her career. The diva has constantly strived to make a place for herself in the industry and hopes that with changing times ahead of us, this phase is a long-lasting one and not just another catwalk trend.

Well, we thoroughly agree. What are your thoughts?
