Three of my favourite black models are featured in the July issue of US Vogue. They are Chanel Iman, Jourdann Dunn and Arlenis Sosa. These three beautiful young ladies sat down with Vogue to talk about black models in fashion (click the article to enlarge). They posed for the editorial in designs from the Donna Karen Fall 2008
P.s I was planning on posting the covers and some photos from Vogue Italia featuring all black models but I am assuming that you have all seen them already (I have seen them on every site I've gone to). If you haven't just let me know and I will gladly put the images up for you.

Chanel Iman is so gorgeous! Those photos look really nice. I'm always happy to see articles and spreads with more diversity, it seems like you hardly ever see black or asian models, and it's upsetting because the whole world should be represented in the fashion industry.
They are all so gorgeous! I really love the second photo! I really hope they influence the fashion world and make it more diverse!
I absolutely love your blog!! AWESOME pictures and even AWESOMER posts!!!! haha.. awesomer. haha.
Trade links?
Chanel becomes more ethnic !!, that`s great !!
What beautiful women - skin like a mochachino. Just beautiful. xf
They are goddesses. So beautiful, especially the last picture with the gold necklace. Amazing
I'm delighted that all of our favorite publications are addressing the elephant in the room (or on the catwalk, as the case may be!). Got my Vogue yesterday and devoured both the article and spread. Chanel is one of my faves! Trade links, btw?
wow gorgeous post !
I can wait to buy this issue.
We wont get it in London until next month but it is already out in Italy.
Amazing, so great.
Chanel is my favorite, only because she seems to be a breath of fresh air. I havnt seen the vogue italia yet
Awesome! I didn't see the vogue italia.
Love the models! They are effortlessly beautiful! I'm adding you to my links! Love the blog!
Hey great post, wow they are all so utterly gorgeous! good choice for a post, i hadnt seen this yet, but must buy it.
Thanks

I love Chanel Iman ever since her interview with teen vogue about a year ago. I also saw her on tyra she is a great model
those girls are much more beautiful than the last 12 white models ive seen put together
Arlenis has a seemingly flawless face. It's interesting to me that they choose to keep her with such thick eyebrows, but in no way is it unbecoming.
Chanel is my favourite model, I think she is so beautiful.
I think British magazines are the worst at using black models, I rarely see any in UK magazines.
i love jourdan. she is young and very fresh from the rest..and to see her on major runway show is ro die for.love her..
They're all so beautiful. I hope they can change the fashion world and bring more diversity into it.
Thanks for visiting my blog, i'll link you!
This is so great to see! I can't wait to see what a positive impact this has on the fashion industry -- perhaps the next big thing will be discovered? So exciting.
Oh and by the way, I know it's been like a month, but I've been really slack with blogging so as soon as I get back into it this week, I will take care of your tag (from like a month ago, lol)! :)

i honestly can not WAIT for this issue! loves it!
Chanel Iman is so amazing.
they're all gorgeous :) p.s i know how stupid this sounds but i just signed up to google ads like i see you have and i had this compelling urge to click on one of your ads to get you a small amount of money :) i cant quite figure out how to actually put my ad onto my page just yet but im getting there lolll!! great post x
great post!
I just added you! Many thanks for your visit :-)
these were absolutely gorgeous! I love the idea that they're featuring and bringing up this topic.
Absolutely stunning girls, I just don't get why Vogue (US and Italia) need to make *such* a big deal, I mean yeah obviously to highlight the issue but can't they just use black/asian models normally?
I love it! Chanel and Jourdan are doing it BIG!
They are so beautiful! Chanel Iman is my favourite! Great post!
they are so beautiful!
I was so excited to seem them when I received my issue! Now, i just have to find a place where I can buy Vogue Italia here in the states.
I love your blog!
Woah she's so stunning. But as much as I love defined eyebrows, hers seems a little TOO catapillar for my liking!
