KEY POINTS:
Supermodel Naomi Campbell says the fashion industry is more racist than ever.
Campbell hit out at the lack of black faces on magazine covers and catwalks, saying: "Women of colour are not a trend. That's the bottom line. It's a pity that people don't always appreciate black beauty. Fashion needs to go back to the way it used to be when wonderful designers like Yves Saint Laurent, Gianni Versace and Azzedine Alaia just had a great line-up of beautiful women - white, black, Chinese, Hispanic."
Campbell, 37, admitted that her supermodel pals helped her career by taking a stand against racism. "Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington would go to big designers and say, 'If you don't pick Naomi to be in your show, then I don't want to be in it'," she recalled. "The only reason I got the cover of French Vogue was because Yves Saint Laurent called up and told them he'd pull his ads if they didn't."
