Yesterday, it was announced Erykah Badu was the new face of Givenchy. Badu (besides being a “cleva” singer/songwriter) is a beautiful woman. She also has a slick sense of fashion. She deserves to get some model shine. Badu will represent Givenchy’s Spring 2014 Collection, along with other fly women of color. I was a wee bit disappointed to read it’s for the line that’ is “a mash-up of African and Japanese influences,” they are always less hesitant to show women of color in these segments of fashion 
But, it’s still exciting to see Badu getting her due props in high fashion. Analog girls in a digital world need love too…
