Black History

Who said that Black women could not uphold the standard of beauty? I know I didn't. And neither did Italian VOGUE. Behold the cover of the largest-selling Vogue Magazine to date... Is it ironic that this is also the first issue of a high-fashion magazine of this calibur featuring all-Black models? Nope! It is what it is folks, and I must say I am proud. Although the issue was heavily criticized for having all-white ads, it was still a huge step for fashion and a huge step for Pan-African culture. Our broad noses, large lips, hips and thighs are a thing of beauty right along with the rest of the revered images of beauty from the past, and into the future!
