I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Vogue Italia's July issue will feature an almost all-black cast of models which will include British modeling sensation, 17-year-old Jourdan Dunn.
The Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Italia, Franca Sozzani said, "We are using a lot of black models, like Iman, not only the models of today – a lot of different girls."
The reason being that "Nobody is using black girls. I see so many beautiful girls and they were complaining that they are not used enough."
Amen.
