Vogue Italia November 2025 : Mia Goth by Mark Peckmezian

[Hchloe]

Did they use outtakes from her Dior campaign?

Agree on everything...
October issue was like that....the Armani tribute was annoying in that sense...

What else comes in this issue?

It’s rather telling that you’re Italian, Xone-- and can’t even be bothered to look at this Vogue LMFAO

Reprints galore: Annie’s Anthony x Gwenyth shoot; Dan’s shoot with Adut; and Ethan’s “Scene Stealer” story. They had just this one original story with Mia to work on— and they couldn’t even handle that.

hahahaha...it makes me mad to see a lazy issue...
so it is a reprint parade as always....

i don't understand why Vogue France got the "freedom" to do issues with no reprints....and how Italia have to do to make it too??...

it is so disappointing every month..

^^^ They're a lazy team.

The quality of a region’s Vogue seems to be entirely up to the discretion of its editor. And I suspect that their rather large “creative”(LOL) team is eating up their budget, rather than allocating its fair share to decent production of fashion content. Say what one may about Claire; she seems to want to put in the effort for a stronger Vogue. Of course she’s nowhere close to her superior predecessors, but it is a worthwhile and noticeable improvement from what Eugenia was scraping together before her. A smaller Vogue like Nederland never has reprints/shared content; they’re always all original fashion and feature stories. Unfortunately, it’s alway that same Emmanuelle’s Miss Vogue sensibility LOOL Francesca in comparison, seems to be content and coasting by with a seat at the Vogue table, while putting in minimum effort— relying solely on celebs in bluechip brands to sell her Vogue. She's so lazy.

But who cares for Vogue Italia now when there’s d Magazine and Bazaar Italia.

Yeah, Francesca and team needs to go...

 

[Royal-Galliano]

they can't be serious with this. this PR stunt is as lazy and lackluster as all the recent dior press outings. the airbrushing of the cover photo is depressing.

All the budget goes to the main story? I mean, they put celebs most of the time this year. Eating up sounds alarming, like there's some sort of corruption inside VI. Hope it's not the case 😢

 

[Phuel]

^^^ If only it were corruption. It’s just how the fashion/fashion publication industry operates now: Those in high profile roles will “eat” an overly generous salary, while even (contracted) ADs are oftentimes offered a lower than industry standard salary or rate— because industry standards no longer exists now for these roles. Their justification is that you should be grateful to be just serving them at their table. It’s just the prevailing lazy, arrogant and greedy attitude of those with a leading title, sadly. Of course not accusing Vogue Italia of such practices— but don’t believe for a hot second that the industry is kinder/gentler/more compassionate.

Looking at their masthead, there's a lot of creative managerial titles for such a consistently measly offering of feature content and at best, very mediocre fashion content, more so now when this Vogues is managed globally.

Take away an A-lister like Mia and the bluechip brand pulls of this shoot, and it’s not even a production worthy of what a bunch of 13yo would accept for their class project. Now take a trip back to Franca’s Vogue— any issue from 1995 to her passing, and strip away the famous castings and the equally famous pull of blue-chip brands, and the photography, art direction, lighting, compositions, storytelling and concepts still remain supreme. Even Emanuel’s Vogue was superior to this. Francesca's is an insult to what Franca built— and even to what Emanuel attempted.

The problem with Farneti was he had bad art direction under his reign at Vogue Italia, while he was okay at L'Uomo. Bianco and Verderi aren't that versatil and attractive as Duzansky's work. I remember the horrible loyouts from Lauren Hutton's cover o the Raquel one from 2017 (what kind of nasty font were those), and not even mention how Verderi took full control over Farneti's role. It got worse since the "not pictures" issue, and the pandemic gave the excuse to make the rest. Also so many multicovers per month, and themed issues each time. Franca/Meisel made their brilliant specials once in a time. Farneti tried to make it in consecutive way, and shifted what made VI interesting. And changing the size... all that was a mess than I can't recover. After that, Francesca started with a very standar cover, almost Grazia level, not close to what made VI so likeable. Made some interesting choices, but it's only a shadow of VI's former glory. I agree her biggest flaw is not making original content besides the cover story (or non, as Bieber's edition). That's not a way to respect a tremendous legacy. Also, I can notice the change about the people she picks for the cover, most celebs over models, killing VI's DNA. The heart for VI was fashion, not the hype.

 

[ah ah]

Well, this Francesca girl is still stuck exactly there - at Grazia level. You can work on your social connections, but you can't gain style if you don't have it.
