Just like with the black issue of Italian Vogue, there are two sides to this coin: The black and the curvy websites throw a spotlight on black women and on curvy models and declare them fashionable. The sites help further dialog about diversity in fashion, and get black models and curvy models working. There are spectacular photographs, interesting articles (in English!) and fun videos. The downside, of course, is that creating these two sites as separate entities from the main Vogue Italia page highlights and exacerbates the problem with fashion right now: There’s a total lack of integration.
