The cover girl of the latest issue of Vogue Paris is Rose Cordero from the Dominican Republic. The new cover is considered a milestone in the history of the magazine because since 2002, a black model has not appeared alone on the cover of the publication, reports Models.com. Then Liya Kebede looked back at the readers. For the sake of historical accuracy, we should note that Noémie Lenoir posed alone at the front of the magazine's June/July 2008 issue, but Models.com probably doesn't count her because there were two covers for that issue; one featured the now 30-year-old French model, and the other featured her colleague, Laetitia Casta.

In recent years, the fashion industry has received a lot of criticism not only because of the use of skinny models, but also because it is said that colored models are discriminated against. Among others, the fierce-tempered Naomi Campbell and David Bowie's Somali-born wife also explained that the heads of the fashion industry are racist, because models of color receive far fewer requests. As a counterexample, Italian Vogue came up with an issue in 2008 that featured only black models. It is true that this initiative was not an undivided success either, as several people thought that it was somewhat hypocritical and useless.
