>> THE ZEITGEIST —The original run of the July 2008 Vogue Italia sold out in the US and the UK within 72 hours of hitting stands, followed up by reprinting of 30,000 copies for the US, 10,000 for the UK, and 20,000 for Italy. By sheer numbers, the issue was a runaway success, with no question that black women can sell magazines. In the aftermath, the lasting impact of the issue is starting to be called into question, especially with the follow-up August 2008 Vogue Italia featuring all white models on the cover.

The interesting thing about the selling of the Black 'Vogue Italia' issue is that due to the lack of advertising in Paris, it didn't sell really well here.They still have stacks of copies on most newsstands.I was asking a magazine seller at a newsstand in Saint Germain des Près, one of the most fashion oriented neighborhoods, and she told me that they just got the regular selling standard for it.Haha, I should buy some copies and make a fortune on ebay.
