  1. Renee Thompson is trying to make it as a top fashion model in New York. She's got the looks, the walk and the drive. But she’s a black model in a world where white women represent the standard of beauty. Agencies rarely hire black models. And when they do, they want them to look “like white girls dipped in chocolate.”

    The Colour of Beauty is a shocking short documentary that examines racism in the fashion industry. Is a black model less attractive to designers, casting directors and consumers? What is the colour of beauty?

  2. BBC: H&M to use digital clones of models in ads and social media. “Fashion retailer H&M is to use artificial intelligence (AI) to create digital ‘twins’ of 30 models. It says it will use the AI doppelgangers in some social media posts and marketing in the place of humans, if given permission by models.”
