I know. I count Arlenis' Vogue Germany May 2009 cover as the most recent solo cover given to a young black model. Jourdan and Chanel on Teen Vogue; and Sessilee, Arlenis, Chanel and Jourdan on I-D were great but it'd be nice if a young black model had her own cover and editorial that didn't include an article solely about black models in the industry.
It's just a simple complaint. I wish Meisel would give a young black model a solo cover soon, July 2008 seems like too long ago. Also, magazines like Vogue Nippon, Vogue Russia, Vogue Australia etc. seem to rarely use young black models on their covers. I think someone like Rose Cordero would be perfect for Vogue Nippon. The fashion world has such a beautiful lively crop of black models and it just seems like a shame sometimes. I just know that right now I would much rather buy an issue with Jourdan on it than I would one with Natasha Poly on it.
