Perhaps this is a response to the oft heard complaint that the 'Black Issue' lacked actual diversity in the advertisements??About the issue, Sozzani says, "Fashion is not only about clothes....I do this from my heart and my stomach...not with my head." Hopefully other fashion mags will follow her lead.
