vogue italia

did anyone else feel disappointed by the 'all black' vogue italia? call me a cynic if you must, but i thought the conceptual dream was to destroy stereotypes and celebrate the beauty and editorial relevance ofthe balck woman... and yes, they achieved this to a certain extent, but... minus the naturally curly, bi-racial girls, the models all wore head-wraps, hats, lacefront weaves and silky wigs.... hmmm i'm still sensing an underlying attempt at 'european' assimilation. grace jones was featured.... wearing a straight bob????? i would have loved to see natural hair... masses of it, but having said that, it wasnt all bad...
