For their 2014 diversity report, The Fashion Spot looked at 611 covers of 44 major print magazines to determine how racially inclusive the industry was this past year. Out of those 611 covers, white models appeared 567 times and models of color appeared 119 times. "That's almost five times more covers for white models," Jihan Forbes of The Fashion Spot writes.

Here are the magazines that didn't feature a single model of color on their covers in 2014, according to post: the US and UK branches of Harper's Bazaar, Teen Vogue, Vogue UK, Vogue Netherlands, Vogue Paris, Vogue Ukraine, Vogue Russia, Numéro, LOVE, and Porter.
