HBO Drops Trailer For 'Donyale Luna: Supermodel,' New Doc On Groundbreaking Black Model - Shadow and Act

Jamil David


The official synopsis for the original documentary:

DONYALE LUNA: SUPERMODEL chronicles the remarkable life and career of Donyale Luna, the first Black model to grace the cover of both Harper’s Bazaar (1965) and Vogue (1966). Breaking barriers in the fashion industry, challenging the prevailing ideals of beauty, and influencing culture in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Luna remains largely unknown despite her stunning body of work and her collaborations with some of the foremost fashion photographers of the 20th century.

Participants include Luna’s daughter, Dream Cazzaniga, husband, Luigi Cazzaniga, supermodels Beverly Johnson and Pat Cleveland; Vogue global editor-at-large Hamish Bowles; photographers David Bailey, David McCabe, and Gideon Lewin; and many more.

The film is a Lightbox Production in collaboration with Jeff Friday Media and The American Black Film Festival. It is produced by Melissa Kramer, Isoul H. Harris, and Melanie Sharee and directed by Nailah Jefferson.  The documentary is executive produced by Jonathan Chinn, Simon Chinn, Jeff Friday, and Dream Cazzaniga. Nancy Abraham and Lisa Heller are the executive producers for HBO, and Anna Klein is the supervising producer.
