African American model, 25, refuses to wear monkey costume of overgrown ears and lips and blasts the Fashion Institute of Technology's NYFW runway show for being racist

Apparently they got a human model to model it instead. Rayciss!

‘I could not control my emotions. My whole body was shaking.

‘I have never felt like that in my life.’

Lefevre added: ‘People of color are struggling too much in 2020 for the promoters not to have vetted and cleared accessories for the shows.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to FIT for comment.

After refusing to wear the costume, she walked the runway without the getup. Immediately after the event was over, she stormed out of the venue.
