Please Vogue, don't do us any favors. This JULY 2008 issue of VOGUE USA is Bullshit.
A) its a really boring issue
B) they show letters from readers on the controversal Giselle and Lebron James issue with no response
and then C) they have the balls to do a story saying this: Is Fashion Racist?
Chanel Iman, Jourdan Dunn, & Arlenis Sosa shouldn't even have done the layout. Vogue does this story trying to show their love of ethnicity, yet there is no ethnic models in any ads or any of their other fashion editorials. Isn't that lovely?
Everyone's making this big deal of the VOGUE Italy issue using all black models. But fuck that shit! Are we greatful for this? Do not patronize us by saying "hey we'll give you guys an issue...maybe that'll shut you up." No, just include everyone. Can we have a diversed magazine every month? Diversed runways at fashion week? Vogue shouldn't have an all black magazine just as much as their shouldn't be an all white one. They're clearly missing the point.
But to look at the dopeness in it, lets hope it's at least a start.
any thoughts?
