[/caption]UPDATE: Turns out our hunch on Lyndsey Scott's islandistaness was spot on! She responded to our email query today, confirming that her mother is from Trinidad. Our islandista-spotting instincts are on point!
We're loathe to paraphrase Kanye West (especially since he ent really in style nowadays) but ... Milan Fashion Week don't like black people.
We nearly get snow blindness reviewing de pics of Milan's recently ended Fashion Week on style.com - is so de runways did white-white.
Very few black models and of course by extension, even fewer islandista models made it onto the runways of Milan and walked very few shows.
The one major exception to the rule was suspected Trini islandista Lyndsey Scott. Now our only evidence of her islandista-ness thus far is her New York Magazine profile earlier this year when she was the first black model to score an exclusive with Calvin Klein and random Trini-sounding aunts and uncles jump on New York Magazine's website to big up dey girl. But that works for us for now.
Lyndsey got lots of love from the Milanese, walking in six different shows, including big names like Gucci and Prada. Arlenis Sosa and Rose Cordero also walked in a few shows but Lyndsey definitely got the lion's share last week.
Check out more of her pics after the jump.
