This has been brought to my attention so I wanted to share it! I did a little research and found that this is not the first time that ad campaigns have used "racist" marketing strategies for whatever purpose. I guess Vogue wanted to strut down the racist runway as well. On the September 2009 issue cover of Vogue France there is a Dutch model, Lara Stone, in what make-up artist call "blackface" make-up. To non-make-up artist it appears to be blatant racism. I'm kinda confused as to why they (model casting directors) did not select a "model of color" to do the shoot. Reminds me of some of the ad campaigns during the Reconstruction period of American History when images of "Sambo" and "Aunt Jemima" were everywhere you turned.
