Vogue Italia The Black Barbie Issue

I think I'll buy a copy of this for my mother.. Why doesn't Vogue do this in America?




In July 2008, Vogue Italia created the first Black Issue sending a strong message about the importance of diversity to the fashion world. The special issue was a tremendous success from Milan to New York reaching a 40-percent increase in sales.The Vogue Italia Black Issue was conceived by Franca Sozzani, who decided to dedicate a full issue to black models that have reached successes in the influential areas of fashion and art. It was her vision to extend the edition this year to include images of Barbie. The July 2009 issue of Vogue Italia, now available.
