Man, the fashion industry really is in exercising it’s demons mode. From using sweatshops, to being eco-aware, to using anorexic models and now Vogue Italia is set to shine the light on the disgusting process of excluding models of color from being the pages of their publication, by making an almost all black issue this July. It’s no secret that we’ve had our fun lambasting designers and magazines that seem to be color blind. That is, blind to models of color. That is, not even realizing beauty from non-white models exist, and can actually make clothes look… gasp… appealing. This might even lead to an increase in sales. And what are we doing this for if we are not making money…right? Right?

So congratulations to Vogue Italia for making this happen. But this shouldn’t be a one-time thing and the fashion industry has a habit of regressing quickly and making things worse. There’s almost an expectation that after this issue, someone might have a black, 14 year old, anorexic model wearing items from a designer who uses endangered species skin as material, all made in a South American sweatshop. Or not.
