Pioneering former supermodel Bethann Hardison has a busy Fashion Week ahead: Ralph Lauren, DKNY, “so many shows I can’t even keep them straight,” she told The Post on Thursday at the Brother Vellies show. But one runway the black-rights activist is avoiding? Kanye West’s.
“I find the whole thing insulting,” Hardison said while carrying a bag that read “Black Models Matter.”
“Anyone who goes is a fool.”
“Look, I like him,” the fashion icon added. “But he has enough money; he doesn’t need our help.” As for her statement bag, Hardison said a young designer named Ashley Chew made it for her. “I think things are getting better,” she said of fashion’s diversity problem. “But I will be keeping my eyes open all week.”
