Vogue Italia's all-black edition

Black is finally in fashion at Vogue.July issue of Vogue Italia will feature black models almost exclusively, shot by the photographer Steven Meisel.

Franca Sozzani, editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, told The Independent on Sunday: "We are using a lot of black models, like Iman, not only the models of today – a lot of different girls." Asked why she had decided to do this, she said: "Because nobody is using black girls. I see so many beautiful girls and they were complaining that they are not used enough."

I'll have to put my hands on this issue, it must be amazing. I wonder if American Vogue will ever do the same. They already went half way with that LeBron cover, aren't they?

It's not even about colour, it's about using models who aren't as overly common, like every single magazine has the same face but a diffrent name :P and I'm really excited especialy if the're using legends such as Iman.

I think this should be interesting to see. I for one liked the LeBron cover, especially since there was a black AND a white person on the same cover, which I'd never seen before. I think Vogue American is going to be careful about this for now though, they got a lot of backlash over Lebron and that just goes to show that race is a dangerous topic. I hope Vogue will continue to support models of ALL races, to the point where we'll see them all on the same runways in the future.
