Earlier in the year, Grammy award winning singer, Erykah Badu, was earmarked by Ford to be the face of his then unknown new fragrance and my word are the pictures stunning. For a virtual amateur, Badu poise is gripping and very reverent of Diana Ross in her first ever spread (shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott) for a high fashion ad campaign. To me, Ford’s decision to team up with the African American songstress who has no real working résumé in high-end fashion is a step in the right direction for achieving diversity in an industry wrought with allegations of racial prejudice.
