London,
(ANI):
Supermodel
Naomi
Campbell
has
urged
the
fashion
industry
to
use
more
black
models
on
the
catwalk.
She
was
reduced
to
tears
when
she
collected
the
Special
Recognition
Award
at
the
British
Fashion
Awards
in
London,
in
honour
of
her
25-year
modelling
career.
"We're
all
aware
that
we
need
to
introduce
more
women
(of
colour).
But
what
I've
seen
recently
is
that
I've
seen
it
go
backwards
slightly.
We
need
to
raise
awareness
again
and
need
to
start
using
women
of
colour
more," the
Daily
Star
quoted
her
as
telling
London's
Evening
Standard.
"When
I
look
at
the
shows
this
season,
there
weren't
as
many
as
a
year-and-a-half
ago.
We've
got
to
keep
speaking
out,
so
as
boring
as
it
may
be,
if
you
hear
me
saying
it
over
and
over
again
I
have
to
stand
up
for
my
fellow
comrades
(sic).
"It's
not
for
myself,
but
the
younger
girls
who
come
up
to
me
and
say,
We
didn't
get
used
this
season,
we
didn't
do
this,
someone
used
81
models
and
didn't
use
one
of
us".
In
that
respect
if
they
come
up
and
talk
to
me,
and
I'm
able
to
speak
on
their
behalf,
then
I
will,"
she
said.
