Liya Kebede * Sessilee Lopez * Jourdan Dunn * Naomi Campbell / Vogue Italy July 2008 Cover
[VOGUE]:
The July issue of Vogue Italia features only black models has sparked controversy in both the fashion industry and popular culture. Franca Sozzani, editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, created the “black issue” to draw attention to the lack of black models used in the fashion industry. The issue features over 100 pages of prominent black models such as Jourdan Dunn, Naomi Campbell, and Tyra Banks. This isn’t the first time Vogue has sparked racial controversy but, to Vogue’s credit, the controversies trigger discussion, which is always a good thing.

Vogue: Black Folks r Fierce, White Folks r Fierce, Asians R fierce, Mexicans R Fierce...Most Important, DIVERSITY is FIERCER.
Quote: Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani says she was inspired by Barack Obama: “America … is ready for a black president, so why are we not ready for a black model?” she asks.
My Response: Bitch You could have had a Black Model on the cover whenever you wanted your the freakin editor for crying out loud!!! my goodness. Don't try and compare, to excuse your racism. B* Pleaze
