Vogue Italia September 2009: Rihanna

Vogue Italia does it again by embracing diversity with women of color in the fashion industry and showcasing who is hot rather then going with one image of beauty. Rihanna is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to cutting edge style. She takes risks and isn't that what fashion is all about????

Vogue: The Barbie Issue

Swimsuit Barbie


Diva Barbie


Queen Barbie

Royalty Barbie

A girl can never have too many shoes!

The Barbie Issue of Vogue Italia debuted this month with a complete tribute to Black Barbie. Vogue Italia showcased some of the world's most beautiful, Black supermodels such as Iman, Naomi Campbell, Liya Kebede, Jourdan Dunn and Arlenis Sosa last summer, sending a message to the fashion world about the importance of diversity in fashion. We all grew up with Barbie; I can still remember my first Barbie. Can you??? She is an icon with impeccable style!

Black is Beautiful!!

Italian Vogue showcased their entire July 2008 issue with all Black models. I feel this is awesome and long overdue. With our impeccable style, it shows our range and depth even though we make up such a small percentage of models. I see no color lines in the fashion industry or any industry for that matter. Kudos to all the Black models who have paved the way, such as: Iman, Karen Alexander, Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell, Beverly Johnson, Liya Kebede, Veronica Webb and Alek Wek; just to name a few.
