British Vogue is facing backlash following the reveal of its February 2022 cover.
The cover features nine models Adut Akech, Amar Akway, Majesty Amare, Akon Changkou, Maty Fall, Janet Jumbo, Abény Nhial, Nyagua Ruea, and Anok Yai—and while it’s supposed to be a pioneering moment as it centers African beauty on a large scale, it seems that the models’ skin tones were edited to look darker, among other controversial artistic liberties that were taken.
