Favourite Top African and Black Models

[samoanceleb]

hey fellow admirers of ebony beauty ... this is something fun i thought you be like, its a cover I just made up for fun at the Vogue Cover Challenge. i could only use selected images from a Meisel ed in Vogue Italia which only had a few images of black girls. anyway, I'm not posting this to get votes but just to say, imagine if VI did a follow up on the black issue paying homage to all the runway stars of Paris, New York & Milan over the 70s/80s & 90s either with the original models themselves or the current stars referencing some of the iconic archive pics of those catwalk divas, and not just black models I listed on my fake cover but also others such as Anna Bayle, Marie Helvin, Dalma ... just wanted to share ... peace & blessings!!!

Can anyone ID any of the three models on the latest cover of Arise magazine?



I know the model on the far left is Rascelle Williams.

Who are these two women? Also, there is this gorgeous Black model I saw on a poster in the Gap. It's not Arlenis. She slightly favored Liya Kebede (but it's not her either, she's much younger). In fact, she looked more like Joy Bryant, but I don't think it's her either. It wasn't Emanuela or Gracie either. I hope one of you can solve the mystery.
