RECOGNIZING WOMEN OF COLOR                                                               

    

                  The hot item that most women are hunting for is the July 2008 issue of Vogue Italia: A Black Issue

The famous glossy features black models at a time when the high fashion industry has ignored them in favor of waif-like models of European descent. A month after its release the Vogue Italia, which generally sells for from $15 to $20—is being sold on eBay for $700 per cover. It is so special it has four different cover models for this coveted collector's item.

The issue sold out in the U.S. almost immediately after its release, prompting Cond'e Nast to print 40,000 more copies, sending the message that minorities have spending power, and should be represented equally.
