Laugh of the day is the UK Independent's Africa Issue ("guest designed by Giorgio Armani").To sell Africa to the whities, Kate Moss has been blacked up for the cover - "Not a fashion statement" is the headline.
Delicious in its irony. Next, the return of the Black & White Minstrel Show? Perhaps it's a post-mod thing, or a Banksy joke, or just a terrible mishap.
In other news ... on page 40 Armani admits some responsibility for setting "a trend towards models who look anorexic" but then thinks the problem is "exaggerated". It's unfortunate that he chooses to part-defend himself over vanity thinness in an edition of the paper devoted to famine and poverty.
