I’m tired of his team at Italian Vogue, it’s horrendous, they get great visionaries such as David Sims who can great beautiful & interesting images and this what they get him to create.
The art direction is just hideous and plainly put, stupid. The constant string words, tipex writing, random rope words here and there isn’t edgy, it’s immature & worst than amateur. I’ve seen so many students that create better work (meant as a compliment to the students) and they work with no budgets, no star photographers, stylists etc, they do it all on their own.
Franca’s Vogue had interesting stories and narratives and pushed topics that were controversial but beautifully done, compared to this mess of a magazine which is gimmicks galore. Maybe they should create a magazine called Gimmicks Galore and let Farneti run it on his own in a very very very remote location that no one populates.
Every issue since Franca has just been a mess and it’s all Farneti fault, he has taken the legacy of Italian Vogue and made it a joke. One of the worlds more influential magazines is now absolute laughing stock and what I thinks worst is that it seems like they have no clue.
