    This is really nice and all the girls look stunning but for some reason someone is gonna bash Chanel.

    I want to see, just ONCE if possible, when featuring all-black models editorial, not to put them in ethnic and african inspired prints and attire, including head turbans and oversized “ethnic” jewlery? Feb issue of Vogue did the same thing, with the Rodarte page featuring all black models, again in ethnic prints and head turbans.

    How about Celine and Calvin Klein??

    Other than that, its a gorgeous spread.

      That was my first thought as well… pretty pictures, but predictable

    WOW! This is fashion. IT is today & timeless. I love Chanel in this. I’m not her greatest fan but neither am I of just any girl. I believe she does her job & to the best of her ability.Now with that being said the shoot is overall amazing!

    I do not like this shoot at all, a first for me. Why do african american models always have to look so ethnic in shoots and not feeling the fugly clothes. Not one of my favs at all.I almost didn’t recognize Chanel Iman and the makeup job is not the biz! Smh!

  • florider

    so sultry, sweaty and exotic. Amazing compositions and various play swith the colours and model dynamics. This is a very rounded effort and models look great. Fabulous!

    Why do people always refer to Sessilee Lopez amd Rose Cordero as “Black” models? They’re is Dominican. Lopez? Does anybody realize that is a hispanic last name? Am I the only Hispanic girl to notice this?
    But over all this spread is lovely.

      Because people judge you by the race you look like, also you would be surprised how many people have never heard of afro-latinos.
