RIP - Naomi Sims



Naomi Sims was often known as the true "first black supermodel". She was the first black model to grace the cover of Ladies Home Journal; but she was also found in Times and Life magazines during a time of civil unrest, namely, the Civil Rights Movement. She broke numerous barriers and paved the way for people today like Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks. Have a moment of silence and remember her for her great accomplishments to the fashion world.
Read more about her in the New York Times article.
