Naomi Campbell has slammed magazines like Vogue for sidelining black models by giving preference to fair-skinned women. The stroppy supermodel said that 'it is a pity that people don't appreciate black beauty.'
The 37-year old admitted that she herself finds it difficult to get a chance to appear in the cover page of the London issue of Vogue magazine. "Black models are being sidelined by the major modelling agencies," Campbell was quoted as saying.
"Even myself, I get a raw deal from my own country, 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. I believe there are pretty girls from African and Asian countries who can grace the international catwalk and the front pages of fashion magazines with proper strategies."
