Naomi Campbell wants Vogue Africa
Now it’s time!
April 5th, 2018
It's time for Vogue to have an African edition.
Naomi Campbell, in Lagos, Nigeria, to attend the Arise Fashion Week, launches the proposal and says with a loud voice:
"There should be a Vogue Africa. We just had Vogue Arabia. It is the next progression. Africa never had the opportunity to be out there and their fabrics and their materials and their designs be accepted on the global platform".
And she added:
"People have come to realize it is not about the color of your skin to define if you can do the job or".
The fashion monopoly remains white. Very few black designers and creatives direct fashion houses or magazines and, in the rare case they do, are often the first of a long series of white predecessors as happened with the arrival of Edward Enninful of head of Vogue UK and with Virgil Abloh which has recently become the first black designer artistic director of menswear for Louis Vuitton.
According to Naomi, the fashion industry desperately needs more diversity and we agree with the top.
The creation of Vogue Africa could be a step in the right direction.
