Snejana Onopka looks absolutely amazing in this month’s Italian Vogue shot by Michelangelo Di Battista. The styling is awesome, and “glitter” doesn’t mean sequins and cheesy loose glitter, she’s all decked out in chains, studs, and stones. Check out the rest on Cult, or in the gallery below

Model Suvi Koponen gets the colorful treatment by photographer Richard Burbridge in this spread for the May Issue of Italian Vogue. It’s a crazy mix of color and the seasons latest trends that seems like a total dream/lsd trip.What’s really cool though is that Suvi is the winners of Finland’s Next Top Model, proof that while it doesn’t actually help girls in America, it’s doing wonders for those outside of the Eye of Tyrauron glaze.

“High Kick, High Kick, Jazz Hands, and Fosse!!!”

I can’t get over how beautiful this photo shoot is. There’s something decadent and oh, so Italian about it. These photos were taken by the amazing Steven Meisel for Italian Vogue all the way back in 1991.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell stars in photographer and filmmaker Nick Knight’s film. The film ends with the infamous supermodel firing two handguns. I love it. While Campbell’s violent past could make this film hilarious, the movie’s subject touches on a serious fashion issue. The film’s premise is racism in the fashion industry.

Lately, this seems to be a hot topic. From Italian Vogue’s all black issue to small forums, the industry is taking note of the color void. The silent film addresses the blunt nature of designers, advertisers, editors and agencies who denounce black models for employment. While the film is only two minutes long, it is powerful and resonate.   

“By my own inaction, I am guilty of allowing racism to be normalized and accepted in this business. This has made my deeply sad and increasingly angry.”  - Nick Knight

Iman recently talked to NYMag about her upcoming Italian Vogue cover  “I still don’t like us (black models) to be a caricature,” she told them at the American Image Awards this week. “They’ll think, ‘Okay, we did it.’ And then they’re done with it, and we’ll have to wait till next year.” She added that in 2007 black models were “nonexistent” and she felt the fashion and beauty industries are out of touch. “When you see commercials and movies and every other form of art in terms of entertainment, you never have this conversation,” she said. “So it is so outdated.” She continued, “I can only say that one of the reasons is that models have never had unions, so there is no one to say, ‘This isn’t right.’

Yeah that’s what models need a union. First order of business uniform model size -2.
