Many of the fashion industry's September issues — the most important issue in the year — feature influential black women, a big change from 2017, when white women dominated the covers. Those in the industry say it's cause for celebration, even if part of the motivation is to stay relevant and other women of colour still aren't getting their time in the spotlight.

CORRECTION: Brent Poer spoke to Tashauna from New York, while Vanessa Craft was interviewed in Toronto.
