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.

Great stats on the Black women on Vogue covers! I still think it's an empty gesture though. I finally put some pics up on my blog. So you can finally lay off me. Do you know if that dark blue bathing suit on your right panel comes in white. I might be able to get a sweetie to treat me to a new bathing suit. And do you know if it's got connectors for clear straps so that people who aren't admins on the itty bitty titty committee actually have a fighting chance in that number? I would kill 'em on the beach in that thing!!!
