Naomi Campbell and the world of racism
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.
