Affirmative action?


When it seemed as if the issue in regards to color discrimination was finally coming to better terms in the fashion industry this happens: Lara Stone, who is dutch, was shot for The Supermodel Edition of French Vogue, and styled by Carine Roitfeld and painted black. Yes, I will say it again: painted black. Everyone is talking about it, given the fact that the issue only included Caucasian models. Even Asians got excluded. Is this all necessary to sell issues of a magazine these days?
