Supermodel and host of Canada's Project Runway,Iman, is set to appear on the cover of Italian Vogue's first all-black issue. However she has her reservations about its impact. "I still don't like us (black models) to be a caricature," she told New York magazine this week. "They'll think, 'Okay, we did it.' And then they're done with it, and we'll have to wait till next year." She also asserted that black models were "nonexistent" last year and she feels that the fashion and beauty industries are out of touch. She continued, "I can only say that one of the reasons is that models have never had unions, so there is no one to say, 'This isn't right.'"
She's also avid supporter of Barack Obama for president... "I've been an American citizen for nearly 30 years, I've been an Obama supporter from day one! I met him two or three years ago at Oprah Winfrey's house, and I've been supporting him since then. In my lifetime this is happening."
