Fashionistas are losing their minds trying to get their hands on this collector's issue of ItalianVogue Magazine. On the cover are Liya Kebede, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn and Naomi Campbell. Kebede is Ethiopian and the other three all have Caribbean roots.....Yea Man!!!!
Here are some pics of Naomi ....
UK-born Jourdan Dunn is only 17 and she is one of the hottest young models in the business today.
Sessilee Lopez was born in the US. She is FIERCE...and sheis a fellow blogger. She has more pics from the shoot on her blog 
Now though many are glad that there is a black issue, some are arguing that it's just a token act, a give-a-dog-a-bone-and-shut-it-up kind of move. Maybe it is maybe it isn't. But after hearing so many people complain that black models do not get any of the limelight the way white models do , shouldn't we embrace this???? I think it's brave and artsy. Reportedly the magazine was advised against doing it for lack of sales. But this is flying off the racks!!!! Kudos to Italian Vogue for trying a ting (even before Voguse US) and I hope not just magazines but the industry will follow suit!
