The magazine said that it wants to feature “some of the best international celebrities on our covers. Occasionally!”

The issue of dark skin vs the white skin is all the rage these days in the country that is mostly a majority of dark skinned people. The media, common people and many celebrities are trying to convey the message that celebrate the dark skin and come out of the complex of the need to have white skin.
Be comfortable in your own skin. That has been the mantra of the common people all across the country of India. so the move by the entertainment magazine vogue has been very untimely. All over the country, whitening creams and skin whitening treatments have been condemned by common people and celebrities alike. Many Bollywood celebs have made the move to boycott skin whitening products and those who endorse them are widely criticized and they lost a good amount of their fans.
In a country full of dark skin people, the lust for a white skin is a sensitive issue. However this debate is not prevalent in India only. In fact all over the world people are very much becoming more and more conscious of the statement ‘Proud to be myself’.
The vogue magazine tries to have hot and seductive covers to lure the readers into buying the magazine. There always has been covers of celebrities in provocative clothes and sexy shots for the magazine. As Kendall Jenner has been a hot commodity lately, the magazine predicted that she would make a great cover. Little did they knew it would end up being a huge problem for them?
People are of the opinion that the vogue cover should have featured Priyanka Chopra if the wanted an international figure, because lately Chopra has been doing a number of international gigs like the hit American TV series, Quantico and the upcoming movie Baywatch based on the famous Baywatch TV series. The next choice of the audience was Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor.
Whatever the people say, the bottom line is that now the magazine is out and the cover sparked the Kendall Jenner controversy.
