Elle Germany Responds to “Black is Back” Backlash<\/strong>
\nElle Germany<\/a>‘s November issue came under fire for a series of problematic editorial blunders, namely a feature titled “Black is Back” meant to spotlight popular black models\u2013\u2013instead botching credits of the models included and failing to recognize its diminishing title that seems to say black models are equivalent to a seasonal trend. Further, the “Back to Black” issue put a white model on its cover. DietPrada quickly called the publication out, followed by commentary from Naomi Campbell, both can be seen below. Elle Editor in chief, Sabine Nedelchev, gave Teen Vogue a statement addressing the errors, saying, \u201cIn our current issue we approach the colour black from different angles. One of our focuses was to feature strong black women who work as fashion models. In doing so, we were guilty of several errors for which we sincerely apologize.\u201d [Teen Vogue<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Not a good look, @ellegermany . For their November 2019 issue, the presumably white-led publication declares that \u201cblack is back\u201d. Ironic when they, along with much of the fashion industry, have been complicit in denying visibility to black models until relatively recently. Oh, and apparently they can\u2019t actually tell models apart. In the bottom middle, a picture of @naomichinwing is used in place of @iam_janaye . And @joansmalls has been around for a minute\/hasn\u2019t gone anywhere lmao. The issue, titled \u201cBack to Black\u201d, also features a white model on the cover. You can\u2019t make this stuff up! \u2022 #elle #ellemagazine #ellegermany #naomichinwing #janayefurman #models #blackmodels #modelsofcolor #runway #fashionweek #fashionmonth #pfw #nyfw #mfw #lfw #paris #london #milan #nyc #wtf #fail #magazine #print #editorial #editor #editorinchief #media #sabinenedelchev #dietprada<\/a><\/p>\n
