Very "gimmicky" I would have liked to see more Asian and Latina women as well. Oh, and how about black women with big afros like Hollis or Ayan? I agree with von.

But now I'm excited to get my copy later this month. I live in London and thought it telling that, although nearly every paper here ran a story about the issue's debut, virtually no newsagents were attempting to get the magazine in stock. I managed to find one bookseller in Selfridge's department store in Central London which has the magazine on backorder (they normally carry all manner of Vogue editions anyway). When I walked up to the international magazine rack, I could find Vogue issues from just about every other country under the sun, but the Italian was clearly sold out. I stood there for several minutes searching for the Italian cover, hoping to find the one copy someone had missed, when the store employee came right up to me and asked, "You're looking for Vogue Italia?" He told me that he'd had people from all walks of life coming in and calling non-stop trying to get their hands on a copy. Needless to say I've reserved two copies which will arrive on July 25th. I appreciate Vogue Italia making this political statement. Wasn't Italian Fashion Week's organizers among the firsts to ban underweight models from their runways (along with Spain)? That rippled throughout the industry. Hopefully this will do the same. Afterall, people of color make up the vast majority of human beings on this earth. It's about time we cease being a niche market.
