Naomi Campbell said of the all-black issue of Italian Vogue, "That made some noise but, unfortunately, we are the same as before. People, in the panic of recession, don't dare to put a girl of color in their campaign, full stop." She added, "This year, we have gone back all the way that we had advanced. I don't see any black woman, or of any other race, in big advertising campaigns." [Vogue UK]
