In a word...FIERCE!!! I'm so loving Toccara's editorial spread in the most recent issue of Vogue Italia that I can't get over it. I'm really surprised that these pictures haven't generated more buzz than they have. They're groundbreaking on two fronts. Not only is Toccara a Black model, but she is plus size as well. I wonder when's the last time Vogue Italia featured a girl who wasn't stick thin? Me thinks it's been a while.

Sidenote: She lost the perfect amount of weight. The girl's got it down to a science, because she's still thick and fabulous yet picture perfect.

Doesn't this shoot remind you of Kanye's "Flashing Lights" video except 10x less pretentious and self-referential.
