Fierce!
beautiful ! lovin the hair! heard her husband is billionaire?
Love the fact that a black women with natural textured hair is on the cover of an international fashion mag, but why is it always only the Italian fashion mags that make it their business to place.
The US/British magazines need to step it up big time.
@ #3
It’s not always Italian mags. You’re probably just thinking of that Italian Vogue issue a while back. British mags puts black models and celebs on their covers every now and again. Anyway, I find Liya boring at this point. I wish some of the other black models could get some more magazine cover shine. Hopefully Jourdan Dunn didn’t gain too much weight after having her son (at 19 smdh), so she can be back on the runway in time for the fall collections.
Hot.
Italy loves black models! Nice to see some gorgeous natural hair all free and unrestrained. If you need healthy hair tips for natural, relaxed or hair extensions, just click my name to be taken to the best place for that and more.
Beautiful pics!
I’ve never seen her before, she’s gorgeous. I love the hair (hers or not)… I love the natural look.
She looks fantastic! She always comes with some original, fierce shots, very intriguing,
Absolutely stunning photos.
that’s fierce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, gorgeous
Her daughter is so breathtakingly beautiful!
Love Liya!!
Saw her on an H&M ad… she’s a striking girl.
italian versions are the sh!t thats it! ts hrc to be on tcovers of italian versions of fashion mags
Italian magazines are different because in Italy our beauty is more appreciated moreso than out here. Italian men love black women. out here, American public is racist and blantantly so, and white customers wouldn’t buy Vogue or other magazines with a black women , because they would assume that it was a black magazine. happened to naomi campbell in the 90s, she was on the cover but the publicists had to change it because whites thought it was a black magazine, so they gave the cover to kate moss.
WHO’S SHE????????????
*scratches head*
love the pic though
she’s fierce!
Love me some Liya boy. She been in the game for a min. and she is not a young spring chicken( about 31), yet she killing these chicks. Gotta love Ms. Kebede

one word: GORGEOUS wow
I hope she’s giving back some of the billion$ to the poor starving children in Ethiopia.
omg i LOOOVE these pics! she is sooo effing gorgeous
♥
Love love love the cover
Drop Dead Gorgeous. Now this is what you call a model. She still can rock and get work is in her 30s competing with 16 yr olds. Unlike Tyra, the fat whale who thinks she is high fashion and couture. Tyra is just bitter bc Naomi and Liya are still fierce and working models. So she tries to create a modeling show which is like Barbizon school but has yet to produce a top model yet. Tyra needs to give up because even Tyson says she is tacky and her show is a joke.
GO LIYA!!
aaaabsolutely gorgeous! go liyaaaaa! i love her =)
Beautiful.
lol
Italian men love black women. Really?
Here’s a statistic for you. About 95% of black women that speak Italian are prostitutes. I guess you could be right.
those photos are absolutely fantabulous !!!! Liya has been in the game for a while and she still shoes that she got it !!!! i love it when they have black models or plus size modesl ( have they ever ) on a cover, to me it shows that the industry is willing to open their mind to a reality that has been there for the longest time.
Now if our rappers and r and b singers can get to show some dark skin thick girls too… ( besides buffy , i mean )…. check me out on edgynesss.com
oh and i had to take the pictures and name this site as a source… just had too !!! thank you
Gorgeous
