    Renauld White was is the best black male model ever. I was a teenager in Brooklyn following his modeling career. This man showed me how to style and dress through his photos in various magazines. This guy was my inspiration in learning how to style . I want to thank you Renauld for all of your work and inspiration. I’m a older man know and still styling like a mother because of you man. Your the best.
