Vogue Celebrates Black History Month

To celebrate Black History Month this year Italian Vogue's Editor, Franca Sozzani, featured all African American models in its Black Allure spread--photographed by Emma Summerton and styled by Edward Enninful. The theme of the spread was the roaring 1920's Harlem and features models such as Chanel Iman, Sessilee Lopez, Ajak Jeng, and Melodie Monrose. This issue comes as a much anticipated follow up to their 2008 "Black Issue" which sold out within 72 hours and featured Naomi Campbell, Sessilee Lopez, Liya Kebede, and Jourdan Dunn on the pull-out cover.
