Dutch model painted Black

Dutch model Lara Stone is featured in the current issue of French Vogue. The sexy and controversial issue celebrates supermodels, people of color are not included. Steven Klien paints a Dutch model Black in this isssue...sorta strange right? After browsing the web, that seems to be the average opinion. The fashion industry tends to exclude people of color and this is just another example. I was looking for Noami Campbell in this issue. The pictures are hot, some are disturbing.  I found this picture below online and thought it was pretty much the same thing. Not too appealing, especially when marketing a product.
