Black is Beautiful

Thanks to Vogue editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani recognizing the lack of black faces at Fashion Week in February, the July Italian VOGUE issue will feature pictures of ONLY black models, and will include articles on black women in the arts and entertainment industries.


Now if we can only get American Vogue to follow suit! Which by the way has only had 34 black women—most of them models—on its cover in its 116-year history.


The magazine will have four available covers with models Liya Kebede, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn and Naomi Campbell.
