SEBASTIAN KIM RESPONDS TO THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING HIS RECENT STORY FOR NUMERO FRANCE

SEBASTIAN KIM RESPONDS TO THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING HIS RECENT STORY FOR NUMERO FRANCE

I would like to apologize for any misunderstanding around my recent photos for Numero France.  It was never my intention (nor Numero’s) to portray a black woman in this story.  Our idea and concept for this fashion shoot was based on 60's characters of Talitha Getty, Verushka and Marissa Berenson with middle eastern and Moroccan fashion inspiration. We at no point attempted to portray an African women by painting her skin black. We wanted a tanned and golden skin to be showcased as part of the beauty aesthetic of this shoot. 

It saddens me that people would interpret this as a mockery of race.  I believe that the very unfortunate title “African Queen” (which I was not aware of prior to publication) did a lot to further people’s misconceptions about these images.  It was certainly never my intention to mock or offend anyone and I wholeheartedly apologize to anyone who was offended.

Sincerely,

Sebastian Kim
