Naomi Campbell has slammed British Vogue. The skinny beauty claims Vogue has snubbed her because she is black.

The supermodel joined other black style icons - including Iman, Andre Leon
Talley and Tracy Reese - on the panel of the Blacks in Fashion event where she claimed the magazine has repeatedly refused to put her on their cover.

Naomi said: "I've never been on the cover of British Vogue and I've asked a million times and they've always refused me.

"They'll put the same white model for half the year, I swear like six times, but wouldn't put me on once in my own country. But I still want my British Vogue cover!"

There's one major problem: she's been on the cover of British Vogue eight times since 1987; twice with other models, once with hip-hop mogul P. Diddy and five times on her own.

Eight times. Though I suspect she'll throw a telephone at me for saying so.
