British Vogue

March 1966: Donyale Luna, photographed by David Bailey The first Black model on the cover of British Vogue, eight years before American Vogue followed. Bailey's image partly obscures Luna's face, which makes the cover feel mysterious rather than a straightforward portrait, and the editor Beatrix Miller picked Luna for her personality. Luna had already fronted Harper's Bazaar in 1965, but as a sketch that left her identity ambiguous; this was the photograph that put her on the newsstand as herself.
