Favourite Top African and Black Models

Wow thanks for posting these though i have to make a clarification the third is Princess Elizabeth of Tooro not Togo. Tooro is a Kingdom in Uganda, always wondered how that cover looked

So what is Togo? You say Kingdom, would this be equivalent to a state here in America? Of course, on a smaller scale.

Was there a thread created for Martinique Mitchell yet? She was the tall, beautiful Black model to appear on the first season of Project Runway.

I posted these on my blog & thought I should share them here too First black cover girls for these publications

Jane Hoffman - Cosmo - June, 1969

Princess Elizabeth of Togo - Harper's Bazaar - November, 1969
Jolie Jones - Madamoiselle - March, 1969

Love these beauties but I have to say I found that Katiti Kirondi was indeed Glamour's 1st black covergirl...she did it a year earlier than Daphne.

This is true but she wasn't a model was she? I think she was on the cover of their special "College" issue.

What is Karen Alexander doing now? Does anyone know?

I'm not sure but she's still a black woman(in hindsight Daphne is more of an actress than a model) and the 'college' issue is still a full issue...August.

Modeling a bit...

Maybe I should have clarified but I didn't include her b/c she wasn't a model and this thread is for models.

 

[OMIFAN9]

Good deal...and I said that b/c alot of people think its Daphne(the 1st black person period) and I just cleared it up.

Naomi!

 

[OMIFAN9]

I still can't figure out why the UK version is better than the US one...could it be they weren't afraid to showcase her so invitingly,jokes?! I mean wow,this is probably her best cover.
