May 2011 VOGUE ITALIA Pays Tribute To BLACK BEAUTIES


 
The May 2011 issue of Vogue Italia features a tribute to Black Beauties photographed by Ellen von Unwerth.  On the heels of last year's "Black Issue" Vogue Italia continues to set trends when it comes to Black beauty.  See the pics inside...

The "Tribute to Black Beauties" spread stars stunning black models Jeneil Williams, Cici Ali, Ubah Hassan, Gayle McDonald, Kelly Moreira, Jae Childs, R'el Dade, Jasmine Tookas, Lily Taylor and Ariel Meredith.  And the shoot was styled by Giulio Martinelli.
Fashion editor Claire Sulmers wrote the text that accompanies the article which reads:
With bright eyes peering out under deliciously curled lashes, cheekbones and jawbones contoured as if chiseled from sharp stone, full noses, and sumptuously lush lips, black women are unquestionably beautiful.
A tribute is due to the woman whose skin tone ranges from alabaster to mahogany to smooth onyx, who can flawlessly carry any makeup look—from gold dusted lids to fuchsia blush to ripe purple and pink glosses. These pages pay homage to the versatile woman whose hair can oscillate from a tightly coiled and coifed Afro, to sleek layers, to a slicked back pixie cut in a matter of minutes. To the divine woman whose enviably full lips, strong, white teeth, and delightful smile have been known to electrify the hearts of many. To the siren whose smooth, velvety skin blocks the sun yet remains supple and unblemished with the passage of time.
Variable and diverse, black beauty escapes simple classification. But no matter the incarnation—whether the color of molasses, café au lait, bronze, tan, or tinged like desert sand—black beauties radiate with poise and multidimensional splendor.






The pics are all types of FABULOUS.  And I love the fact they showcased gorgeous models who don't necessarily have worldwide-known names.  Why don't more American magazines follow in the footsteps of Italian Vogue?  Hmmm...
