Fashion Institute of Technology is placing 2 top administrators on leave after an alumni fashion show included models adorned in large prosthetic ears, lips and bushy eyebrows — accessories one black model at the event called racist and refused to wear.
She told NBC News that she told the show's organizers the items recalled caricatures of black people that exaggerated their features.
A model walks the runway wearing Junkai Huang during the Fashion Institute Of Technology's Fine Art Of Fashion And Technology Show at Pier 59 Studios on Feb. 7, 2020 in New York."I almost broke down in tears when the leadership of the show was pressuring me to wear these accessories," LeFevre said. The model added that people upset over the show should focus their anger on the school, rather than the designer, Junkai Hunag.
