Tisci is leading the pack in casting black model in runway shows, he discovered Joan Small and Berges. '' There was a lot talk this season in fashion, me I was one of the person who ended up not being touched by this , I discovered Joan Smalls, I discovered (Burges),I discovered a lot of black girls and I've been always supporting them for me, I grew up in a family and I grew up in a culture, an education that we are all the same.''
