CAMPBELL CRITICISES VOGUE FOR LACK OF BLACK MODELS

Supermodel NAOMI CAMPBELL has criticised the editors of Vogue in her native Britain for not putting enough black models on the magazine's front covers. Campbell, 37, also claims some of the modelling industry's biggest agencies ignore many black faces. The beauty says, "Black models are being sidelined by the major modelling agencies. It is a pity that people don't appreciate black beauty. "Even myself, I get a raw deal from my own country in England. "For example, I hardly come on the front pages of the London Vogue magazine. Only white models, some of whom are not as prominent as I am, are put on splash pages. I don't want to quit modelling until I find that black models get equal prominence and recognition by the world media and information instruments." Campbell first appeared on the front cover of Vogue when she was a teenager in 1987 and last appeared five years ago (02).
