Italian Vogue follows up "Black" issue with "African" issue

Email thisPosted Oct 30th 2008 at 7:00PM by Tiffany Neal

In case you've been living under a rock for the past few month, the all-black Italian Vogue issue released this past September was a smashing success. It sold-out instantly on news stands, leading Conde Nast to quickly release another 10,000 copies, which unsurprisingly, disappeared just as fast as they were rushed into stores.

Attempting duplicate that same kind of success once again and shine a light on another disturbing social phenomenon, Italian Vogue editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani will dedicate the November issue of L'Uomo Vogue -- the European style tome for men -- to Africa, with half of the advertising revenue generated from the issue being donated to Africa-related charities.

Gallery: Will the 'African' issue translate into succes like the 'Black' issue?

It's official. Hollywood has taken over the fashion industry.

Evidence? After leaving rehab a couple of months ago, actress Eva Mendes scooped up some free cashmere sweaters from Calvin Klein and an additional contract with the brand to model its intimates.

And now the beautiful lady has landed on the cover of what some consider to be the fashion bible, Vogue.

After snapping the 34-year-old Cuban-American for Calvin's perfume and underwear ads earlier this year, which will make their debut in fall fashion mags, famed photographer Steven Meisel asked Mendes to pose for the May cover of Italian Vogue.

Italian Vogue creates a black beauty issue

As we've repeatedly documented on this site, their is a clear lack of diversity in the fashion industry. All of the runways, editorials, advertisements, and fashion covers have been completely white-washed for the past eight years now.

It's gotten so bad that former model agency owner Bethann Hardison -- who use to rep supermodels Tyson Beckford and Naomi Campbell -- had to convene two summits to discuss the refusal of some of fashion's most powerful to embrace black beauty. CFDA president Diane Von Furstenberg even sent out a letter prior to fashion week urging designers to incorporate models of all ethnicities onto their catwalks.

However, after the fall '08 fashion season concluded, the runways were as bland as ever.

But just when we thought all was lost, it seems as though somebody has finally gain some semblance of a conscience.

Don't you just love watching Hollywood celebutants running in and out of rehab, falling down drunk, and flashing the paparazzi sans underwear? Apparently so does Steve Meisel, the famous fashion photographer. In a recent shoot for Italian Vogue, the photographer took inspiration from the world's most infamous celebrity train wrecks -- Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.

Remember when Britney went crazy and shaved her head? It's in there. Remember when Paris, then Britney, then Lindsay, all forgot to wear underwear as they bounced around LA nightclubs? That's in there, too. Only in Meisel's shoot, the strung-out celebs are replaced by fashion models.

So, does this mean rehab is trendy?
