Fashion
Author Tomi Adeyemi on the occasion of his first Fashion Week in Paris
As a storyteller, I've often wondered about my favorite movie of all time, and people think I'm joking when I say: The devil dresses in Prada. Yes i can rave Parasite and beginning until my voice became hoarse, but no film has ever starved my soul Prada fact. Thinking back after all these years, I realized that I loved this movie so much because Andy (Anne Hathaways character) was me: a writer and a nerd born with sense of the fashion of a goat who did not belong to this glamorous and beautiful world, but the one who cemented his place in it thanks to his intelligence, his will to adapt and his work ethic implacable. It was the Slytherin-clawed Cinderella. (Partly Slytherin, ambitious alias; partly Ravenclaw, analytical alias, I know it's Vogue, but I promise to explain all of my talking nerd.)
As a teenager, I wrote stories of powerful girls wearing outfits like the ones Andy wore in the movie. I dreamed of becoming an overworked fashion assistant someday, even if the only clothes in my closet at the time were soccer t-shirts horrible pair of bell jeans that did not belong to this decade. (I thought they were on fire, I was wrong.)
Over the years, I have bitten on several iterations of Project track and Americas Next Top Model, and yes, i recently inhaled Next in fashiongo to Minju! but I never thought that I would have a place in this world. The few black faces I saw were superb icons with confidence and elegance that I never thought I could touch in this life: Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Leomie Anderson, Duckie Thot, Adut Akech. They inspired me, but they looked like the anomaly. Whenever I took a look at a runway, I only saw women who were tall, thin and, most of the time, white.
And then came the Valentino spring 2019 fashion show.
I still remember watching Instagram pierced as the show's images and videos filled my feed. The clothes were beautiful and colorful, and the fanciful clothes adorned the bodies of 39 black models. As a storyteller, my mind was filled with fantasies that could have these beautiful works of art in their world. But as a human? Like a little black girl who had always admired fashion from afar but never thought she could dare to have her place? I tore up. I thought I was dramatic at the time, but then I saw Naomi Campbell on this equally watery track. Fair also emotional. And I understood, because for the first time in my life we were seen. We were given the most beautiful embrace. We were told through elegant Pierpaolos designs and a bold visual statement that we were appreciated. We were beautiful. We were worthy of it. And best of all, we belonged.
From that day on, Pierpaolo and Valentino had a special place in my heart. So attending her fall 2020 fashion show last weekend was the closest to a fairy tale. During the three days that I had the opportunity to share with these kind and passionate artists, I laughed, I cried, I learned and I felt more radiant than ever before. It is a day that I will never forget.
