ELLE Germany apologized for confusing one black mode for another in its 'Back to Black' November 2019 issue.
ELLE Germany says it is “guilty” of misidentifying two models and using ‘Back to black’ as its cover line on its November 2019 issue. This week, the magazine came under scrutiny for its white cover model and a corresponding article on black models.
The fashion Instagram account Diet Prada first flagged problems with the November issue: “Not a good look, ELLE Germany. For their November 2019 issue, the presumably white-led publication declares that ‘black is back.’ Ironic when they, along with much of the fashion industry, have been complicit in denying visibility to black models until relatively recently.”
"This is what happens when companies who 'want' to be diverse try to speak on diversity and have no diversity in their offices ...." one person added.Naomi Campbell, who has talked about racism and tokenism in the fashion industry, even tagged veteran black model Iman and Bethann Hardison, a former model turned industry activist, in a post on Instagram Tuesday.
