ALL-BLACK VOGUE? There's a rumor that Italian Vogue is preparing an issue featuring only black models in hopes that the other Vogue will increase diversity in their issues. Apparently, all the photos have already been shot. Those are all the details for now. [Fashionista]

Thanks holls & Carmen

I find that you can often find blk models in and on the covers of European Vogues more often than in/on American Vogue. Although it was not always this way, back in the 80's there were plenty of blk models on the cover of Vogue. The shut out is partially the fault of Anna Wintors.

I really hope Italian Vogue go ahead and do this; it'd be such a great message for all the other fashion magazines.

yay, italian vogue! i've always preferred italian vogue to the other vogue mags. imo, it's always a bit more edgy and fashion-forward. nice to see that it's more forward-thinking, as well!

Whatevs. They may be doing this but it's a publicity stunt I think in reaction to the fact they hve the largest fascist operation in the world really..

I mean Burlusconi just got into power like a week ago and suddenly THIS is leaked?

Anyhow-this will be interesting how it spans out. Having lived in Spain for a while…Latins have a thing about Black women as ornaments….

Jus saying from my experience and not saying this is a bad thing…

It's been confirmed!

Jourdan Dunn (the first black model walk Prada in 11 years) is on the cover.
I'm so fucking excited. The sad thing is it happened after miuccia placed Jourdan on the runway. *SIGH* those italians are some trendy fucks.

Before Anna Wintours came along there were many black models on the cover of vogue during the 80's. Back when Dianna Vreeland was in charge, she hired Andre Leon Tally by the way, and she supported more than one black model too.
