If I was advertiser, I stop giving money to this publication immediately and with an enormous scandal...
Italian vogue cover is no longer matter of taste... that sh*t shouldn't be even discussed, pediod. It should be banned...

[sixtdaily]

Farneti has lost it. The industry is DYING in this pandemic and CN still allows this? The nerve.

Awful. Pathetic. I saw all the covers on someone's Insta story, and they are all equally miserable.

This magazine is really the kii that keeps on giving.

Those drawings should have been in an inside fold. How much did they pay those kids to draw this ?

 

[GivenchyHomme]

I pray to god that he get's fired. He deserves it.

Woke! This is appropriate fashion for 2020.

There’s a simple and fundamental reason why this issue of Vogue Italia is dedicated to children, to their new world. It’s because we think they are the most overlooked and least obvious victims of the pandemic that is affecting us all. Without even considering the infringement on their right to play and socialise, it is simply incredible and unacceptable that in many countries, Italy included, nobody yet knows if and how schools will reopen in September (according to a Unesco estimate, 1.54 billion young people around the world have been deprived of their education; no war has ever laid such a heavy claim on a generation’s future). Furthermore, children’s predicament is inevitably compounded by what has settled in their subconscious during these months of confusion and anxiety, the repercussions of which are destined to take shape over time (childhood decides, as they say).

This is why the following pages include many fairy tales. For centuries, such stories have been used as a way to crystallise our fears and thereby come to terms with them. In many of these tales, clothing plays a crucial role because it is the means by which each of us chooses to portray ourselves to others (or conceal ourselves).

Accordingly, we have also taken the opportunity to try and explain to children this strange, often illogical, but still uniquely wonderful world of fashion – which, like in a fairy tale, will have to endure a rite of passage in these coming months, profoundly calling itself into question to earn its place in the future.

So, in this issue you’ll encounter dragons and imaginary friends. Drawings that come to life. Rodari and Munari. There are girls who fight to avoid being trapped in towers, and who need no prince to save them anyway. There are others who want more diversity in children’s books, too. And rightly so, because those are pages where children really should be left to colour in their own dreams. You’ll find letters to children and grandchildren about life and other catastrophes. Eight-year-old Luca proposes a collection of superpowered jumpsuits to Armani, who has written him a reply.

For the picture accompanying this editorial, I have to thank my son Jacopo who has made me look much better than I do in real life (his sister Giulia has contributed one of the drawings that you’ll see in the article “Prova d'artista”). As for the covers, which have been entrusted to eight very young artists (aged between three and ten), I think there is little to add to the poetry of the images. Just something Picasso said, quoted somewhere in this issue: “It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.”

what's wrong with vogue italia? since Farneti became the editor in chief ,vogue italia hasn't been publishing a good cover. every issue is strange ,even ugly. i really miss the old vogue italia , the supermodels, the great cover stories and the steven meisel

There's no way in hell that he had this cover planned for May. Remember that was the lie? I refuse to believe it, and if he did, then sack him right now.
Why didn't he save this crap for Vogue Bambini? Why should anyone interested in fashion care about this concept? Who is the CEO of CN Italy? But more importantly, why is Farneti?

This guy has NO BUSINESS editing a fashion magazine. Time to set up a petition to put an end to this misery!

Someone on social media should start a campaign denouncing him for his use of child labour for commercial profit or something like that.

At some point, one of these "themed covers" will fail to pander to the current mood and the comeback will be fierce. It'll also be for absurd reasons, but that's the risk the magazine takes with every cover it currently produces.

It feels like we're entering a landscape where people will want to become the editors of fashion magazines because it'll boost their humanitarian profile. And their next step will be CEO of a "charitable foundation".

I guess that's the inherent problem with constantly trying to "push the boundaries". Eventually you come to realize that some boundaries are there for a reason.
