The costume consisted of gigantic black primate-like plastic ears and gigantic red lips. (Pictured above)

The model simply walked out after her catwalk on the runway. She was having an anxiety attack while on the runway while attempting to wear the costume. 

She explained to the organizers of the event of how racially insensitive it was. 

The organizers said she would only have to walk on for 40 seconds, and then she could deal with it later. It seemed like everyone was against her during the event. 

The other models, who weren’t African-American still walked on the runway sporting the insensitive ears and lips. 

The designer said that he wanted to highlight the ugly features of the body. While not realizing the racial tones of the costume. 

FIT President Dr. Joyce F. Brown released an apology. Dr. Brown stated that the institute will investigate the incident.

Conveniently matched with her friend who wore an evergreen puffa jacket, paired with a striped purple and white sweater. 

On purpose or not, her strawberry hair with streaks of light pink in an updo tied with a light pink scrunchie matched with her jacket.

She could fit in the early 90s and nobody would blink an eye.

Her black Chanel quilted lambskin bag is comfortably sitting on her forearm. With her black fur draped on her shoulders.

The demoiselle on the right executes layers and layers with grace. Starting at the base of her outfit, she wears a pink faux turtleneck tucked in a black pencil skirt. 

Layer two she wears a tattersall coat with black, gray, white and red. There is a patch of red on her coat preparing you for the final layer.

Her coat seals the deal for the whole outfit, her red-pink shin-length fur jacket. Her jacket clashes but matches her shoes. It’s two negatives that turn into a positive.
