Caught in the middle of a fiery battle is the "it" African model who has to justify who the face of Africa is. Is the face of Africa Iman? Is it Alek? The American Fashion Industry believes it is both, but not other varieties. For example, an African model with chocolate
skin, a full face and lips; and big brown eyes is probably not "African" enough for the industry versus one with a chiseled face, dark eyes, pouty lips and high cheek bones. As such, the industry projects the polarities of Iman and Alek to the world creating a bitterly contested debate among whites, blacks and Africans alike.

Indeed, when Iman emerged in the mid-late 70s, she created controversy as whites and most black Americans dismissed her as a "white woman dipped in chocolate." Nevertheless, her controversy paled in comparison to Alek's in the late 90s. Alek's extreme features of jet-black skin, flat nose, round, puffy cheeks, deep set eyes and a shaved head evoked strong emotions from most. Whites called her unattractive and most Africans and Black Americans said and still say her look is offensive, a mockery to Africa and "plain ugly." Worse, Alek's fresh innocence allowed the industry to perpetuate caricatures and negative images of Africans as wild animals; as she was seen on fashion runways and photos in "exotic" makeup, bird feathers and leopard prints.
