Black Beauty

Vogue Italia sure knows how to celebrate Black History month!

Once again, the magazine has captured the essence  and beauty of black women with the February issue spread named ‘Black Allure’ featuring only women of color.  Under the direction of both Franca Sozzani and former model Bethann Hardison, who is currently the Editor-at-Large of Vogue Italia, is proving that the selling power that women of color can generate for high fashion magazines should not be overlooked.   Here are some  photos from Vogue Italia’s “Black Allure” spread:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So when will other high fashion magazines follow?  Only time will tell, but with the money being generated from the sales of Vogue Italia, it will be sooner than later.  The legendary ‘Black Issue’ was only a prequel to what women of color have to offer to the fashion industry.  I only hope that the fashion world is paying attention.
