Wednesday, October 4th marked the end of Paris Fashion Week and Fashion Month. What better way to close out the season than with a collection from renowned fashion icon Louis Vuitton? Of course, the designer did not disappoint, in more ways than one.

For the finale show, the 163-year-old fashion brand introduced stunning, Black college drama student Janaye Furman as the first model to hit the runway, opening the show and simultaneously making history. Post-show, Janaye took to Instagram with a reaction that will melt your heart.

What a blessing!! Wow! This is such an incredible and unbelievable moment! Not only for my first opening show to be Louis Vuitton but to make history as the first African American girl to open LV?!! Thank you @nicolasghesquiere @louisvuitton, @marieameliesauve, @paulhanlonhair, @patmcgrathreal, @ashleybrokaw and thank you to absolutely every person involved. Thank you God and everyone for all of the amazing support! I'm so glad more women of color are rocking the runways. It's so important that we stand up for ourselves and make a difference in this world. I'm so happy I was able to tell this beautiful story. I mean look at that coat! #louisvuitton is always #major. @WoodkidMusic @premiermodels @3mmodels @elitenyc @hookerthebooker @alexiacheval @okjanelle @hottattack #LouisVuitton #nicolasguesquiere #openinglook #exclusive #godisgood #blessed #PFW #janayefurman #ss18 #otto #modelsofcolor #firstblackgirl #heyjanaye #LVSS18 #blacklivesmatter #africanamerican #represent #makinghistory #shadesofblackness
