Donayle covered Vogue before Beverley, can't dispute facts.

[FlowerBomb]

While Beverly Johnson is celebrated as the first black model to grace the cover of American Vogue, just eight years earlier in March 1966 Luna was featured on the cover of the publication's British edition--thus making her the first black woman to appear on the cover of any Vogue magazine, period.

Ugh.

Goddess SPEAKS.

sdsfdsg
so why was there a lot of blackface and race switching on the show?

? Or was it just for entertainment?
Kinda defeats that "my skin is not a trend" statement huh

What Blackface are you talking about

In Cycle 4, the models were told that their ethnicities would be "switched." In the photo above, you can see they painted a model who was part Black into a dark-skinned "traditionally African woman" (because apparently there's only one way to look Black?). "The challenge here really is taking on the persona of that other ethnicity while in the photograph and owning it," Jay Manuel said. I'm still not really sure what he meant by that.

That was clearly JUST a theme for the photoshoot

It is a SHOW after all hun.

If anything someone could say that it proves we are all one in the same.

Not a theme and a show
Goes back to what I said about it kinda defeating that "My skin is not a trend" let's keep that same energy next time someone decides to wear a Native American costume lmao

Now find an article from VOGUE that actually recognizes the slut.

Donyale Luna becomes the first cover model of ethnic origin for Vogue, for an issue entitled Eye on the International Collections. The big fashion statements in the shoots sum up the style mood of the day: huge eyelashes, candy coloured tunic dresses (Jean Patou), long chiffon dresses by Cardin, plastic diamond dresses by Pierre Cardin and thick crochet tights.

The tragic tale of Donyale Luna
The world's first black cover girl, Donyale Luna overcame deep prejudice to land a stellar modelling career. Then it all ended just as suddenly as it had started. Ben Arogundade takes up her tragic story.
