Thursday Open Thread: Black Male Model Pioneers

July 23, 2020 by Miranda 251 Comments

Good Morning POU!

Today’s feature, we don’t have much information on him in the way of a bio, but he was one of the top male models of the late 70s and 80s and served the longest tenure of any model for the legendary Ebony Fashion Fair Show.

Charles Williamson

A native of Grenada, Williamson was smooth on the runway, with a confident strut and manner. Williamson was one of the highest earning black (male) models on the planet at his peak. During the early part of the 80s, he could be found in virtually every fashion magazine for each issue.
