black italia

I found these images highly inspirational and eye captivating at that. A few models from the all black issue of Italian Vogue; it's an older issue but one that continues to stick out in my mind for personal reasons. In America it is black history month, although nowadays its skimmed over, and it is a time of reflection and enlightenment of black culture. Roughly about 25-30yrs ago it was rare to see a black face let alone any other race besides white on the face on a high fashion magazine. This event is still rare but is luckily better than before, so thank you Italian Vogue for breaking racial barriers♥
