Moments

Moments pays homage to the extraordinary models of color who have not only graced the covers of magazines but have also left an indelible mark on the fashion industry. Supermodels Beverly Peele and Veronica Webb, along with Mounia, the trailblazer who shattered barriers on the runways of Chanel, Givenchy, and Yves Saint Laurent, stand as pillars of strength and beauty. Alva Chinn, muse of designer Roy Halston and participant in the historic Battle of Versailles, symbolizes resilience and sophistication. Peggy Dillard Toone, the second black model to grace the cover of American Vogue, represents a beacon of change and progress. Cynthia Bailey, known for her role on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," embodies empowerment and self-assurance.

Moments celebrates the extraordinary models of color whose influence has profoundly shaped James Hicks's journey as a photographer. Although he has photographed a "who's who" in the music world, the models of color from the 1970s to the 2000s have been the true inspirations behind his lens.

Featuring over 200 captivating black and white images of more than 70 models, both male and female, showcasing the beauty, resilience, and diversity of these models and ensuring their legacies endure for generations to come, Moments is not just a tribute but a celebration of the profound impact these models of color have had on the world of fashion and photography.
