Conceived by editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani, and shot by Steven Meisel from a roster of 18 new, established and former stars, the July 'black issue' sold out in Britain on arrival. That renowned fashion photographer Steven Meisel, the recluse whose lens has made the career of many a model (including Brits Lily Cole and Karen Elson)

Vogue Italia’s July 2008 issue showcased and celebrated black models and black women in the worlds of art, politics and entertainment — in an entire issue of an internationally acclaimed international edition. There was immediate excitement about the “Black Issue” — the original run of the issue sold out in the United States and the United Kingdom within 72 hours. An extra 30,000 copies were printed for U.S. newsstands, and 30,000 more were made available for European newsstands.

Four separate covers were shot for the Black Issue, each a classic and colorful portrait of the most popular black supermodels of the day: Naomi Campbell, Liya Kebede, Jourdan Dunn and Sessilee Lopez. The covers were shot by the celebrated fashion photographer Steven Meisel, and the models were styled by Edward Enninful, the Ghanaian-British stylist/tastemaker who was fashion and style director of W Magazine, then went onto to become editor-in- cheif of British vogue magazine.

Indulge yourself in the stunning pages of Vogue Italia - The Black Issue magazine, featuring the captivating Sislee Lopez on the cover. With contributions from esteemed individuals such as Eward Enninful, Steven Meisel, Alan Moore, and Franca Sozzani, this special edition collector's item is a true gem.
