2) When selecting clothing, it is extremely important to choose the correct size. You can look good at any size provided your clothing fits well. Clothing should be well tailored and be neither too tight nor too loose. Snug fitting clothing emphasizes a poor fit and baggy clothing looks sloppy and overly casual.

3)Simple, neutral colors such as blue or brown will make your items more versatile and wearable for everyday. Such items can be dressed up and accessorized for special events.

4)wear polo shirts, button-up shirts, or t-shirts as long as they fit well and are not too tight or too baggy. Be careful when selecting prints, avoiding horizontal stripes or very small, intricate prints. Both of these styles will add unnecessary bulk. Large, cheerful prints add color without being overly fussy or distracting.

5)It is important to consider different types of fabric before choosing an article of clothing. You should avoid shiny fabrics and tight, stretchy fabrics that tend to be very revealing and may emphasize areas of your body in an uncomplimentary way. Thin fabrics with a touch of stretch can be both flattering and comfortable.

6)Clothing that is too large may feel comfortable but makes you look heavier. Shirts that fit trimly across your chest and back but can be easily buttoned should be worn with jackets that narrow at the waist rather than looking boxy. You'll look taller and more youthful. Similarly, flat-front trousers with straight legs are more slimming

7)A pair of black leather shoes, with leather soles, is essential, as is a pair in brown, which can be worn with navy, gray and khaki.

8)Navy and charcoal gray are more flattering on most men, but experiment with textured fabrics and unusual color combinations — gray with a subtle stripe, paired with a maroon, dark blue, green or lavender shirt.

9)Short hair accentuates your features.

And I must say that I am an African American male, and I must admit that I am worried that perhaps because of racism, I might not get the job in the U.S. or in Italy. Should I be worried, or does talent overshine race in these situations?

And one more silly thing…If I do Vogue Italia, will I get paid in American of Italian currency?

First off, get the racism crap out of your head. If you're good enough, they truly don't care what color your skin is. If you go through life with that chip on your shoulder, you're going to cut yourself out of a lot of opportunities.
You can get into almost any school you want without a scholarship, as long as you've got the money to pay for it.
Will you have to move to NY? Better than that, New York Institute of Photography (NYIP) is a home based photo school with course from basic "which end do I point at the subject" to a fully professional level. The only one that can get you a job with Vogue, or lose it, is you. You need to develope skills and the vision to capture images that the magazine wants to use. The trick is to make your images stand out above all the others that have wanted to be in their magazine since they were 14. To do this you're going to need to learn everything you can and practice constantly to get good enough. Good luck, I hope to see your work there some day.
