If you haven’t heard already, Vogue Italia’s most recent issue is titled “Rebranding Africa”, and from what I’m reading it hasn’t managed to save the continent. My issue hasn’t turned up yet of course, the post must have been delayed. If I get to read a copy I’ll offer my two cents worth. In the meantime I can direct you to a critique.
Despite having my buddy Joel Sebunjo modelling in it, the issue has been accused of being somewhat short on substance, and who better to lead the charge against it than the wonderfully-titled “Africa is a Country” blog. Here is some premium-grade vitriol to start your Monday.

I can’t wait to see Duckrabbit‘s take on it.
