The magazine caused widespread discussion regarding the controversial topic of diversity, which was long overdue in the world of fashion magazines. The Italian fashion bible selected Naomi Campbell, Sessilee Lopez, Liya Kebede and Jourdan Dunn to front each of its four covers. The issue became the magazine’s best-selling, most desirable issue to own and even had to be reprinted due to high demand.
