  Integrable multistate or multiflavor/color models were recently introduced.
They are generalizations of models corresponding to the defining
representations of the U_q(sl(m)) quantum algebras. Here I show that a similar
generalization is possible for all higher dimensional representations. The
R-matrices and the Hamiltonians of these models are constructed by fusion. The
sl(2) case is treated in some detail and the spin-0 and spin-1 matrices are
obtained in explicit forms. This provides in particular a generalization of the
Fateev-Zamolodchikov Hamiltonian.
