"Right now, it seems as though we are experiencing a wave of Asian models, and while there is certainly a strong African American presence with Joan Smalls, Jourdan Dunn and Chanel Iman, sadly we don't see as many African American models as we could," says Anna Wintour, editor of American Vogue and the woman who is often called the most powerful woman in fashion.
