Vogue Italia October 2021 : Chiara Ferragni by Scandebergs

Good for her but I personally don’t feel it.

She looks bloated, the concept looks tacky and not elevated enough for Vogue Italia, the rose gimmick is unnecessary, the Photoshop work is straight out of 2008 Sebastian Faena level. The typography is boring sh*t that Vogue Portugal does, and zero effort sans-serif is like a sweatsuit - everybody gets away with it, but nobody wants it.

I am truly shocked by the level of "basic" here.

This looks amazing in comparison, how sad

She doesn’t photograph well but they managed to make her look 40 years old. Her other Vogue covers are much better

ANTM QUALITY.....

 

[FashionMuseDior]

That comment about this looking like an album cover was so spot on.

I think the blur effect was unnecessary.

Never thought I'd see the day an influencer covered VI , she's an opportunist that arrived early to the wave...nothing to praise. She also reminds me of the influencer character in that movie Sweat...

The art direction and photography is a mess, she looks like a wax figure.

Well better than that shady character called Bryanboy, at least she was smart enough to build a mini-empire in Italy. If that makes her fit for VI im not sure, but i think Franca would made something more cinematic with her and that's the road the should have taken. Even with a little sarcasm. That movie that you mentioned of course they took her as reference, the actress is her twin lol....

I think Head of contents like Fran Ragazzi or Eugene will bring a more product-focus magazine than artistic or conceptual fashion. They have to be smart enough to have on their team people that elevate their commercial vision,i think it's possible.

From Giovanni Bianco to Ferdinando to this. The slide into oblivion from Vogue Italia is fast and ever quickening. There is no urgency to buy or digest this magazine any more. I'm sorry to say but the sooner they just create a Vogue America, Vogue Europe etc then the better as the mediocrity we are being served by all the individual publications is increasing as the cast of talents weakens. It's a sham what this has become. RIP Vogue, you had a good run but now you are completely redundant.

I quite like the shot but I think the entire cover would be 10x more elevated if the Vogue logo wasn't that dark blue colour.

I can't work out what alternate colour would look better, maybe white...but that might be too pale against the background. It's just a little too matchy-matchy and it makes it less sophisticated than it could have been. The logo colour and typography choice make this look like any of the other European editions, which often attempt more "creative" covers but never quite land on the quality VI and VP used to in their glory days. Hope they release the cover shot free of text because I'd love to recreate it.

This looks so cheap, I agree that the magazine is the shadow of what it used to be under Ms Sozzani. What an awful end for such a great publication.

 

[VogueGirl8910]

Simple cover.

I'm actually surprised so many of you liked this cover

Vogue Italia October Issue. Editor's Letter
Discover the new Vogue Italia with Francesca Ragazzi, Head of Content

As I write my first editorial Milan Fashion Week, back in person after the pandemic, has just wrapped up.

It was exciting to see the new generation of Italian designers claim the space they deserve in the context of Made In Italy. Starting with the collections of five marvellous young BIPOC women - Sheetal Shah, Nyny Ryke Goungou, Romy Calzado Celda, Zineb Hazim e Judith Saint Germain - who live in our country, and to whom we decided to dedicated a digital cover (and an episode of Good Morning Vogue) during fashion week itself and whose profiles and collections you can discover on page 246, in the portraits shot by Luca Anzalone.

Among the many talented young compatriots are also Luca Lin and Galib Gassanoff of Act N°1, Marco Rambaldi, Alessandro Vigilante and Antonio Tarantini, to name just a few. In addition to shared values such as a focus on sustainability, inclusivity, respect and creativity, you can finally feel the concrete desire to work together and support each other.

Want the future, as Fedez sings to his wife. And it’s precisely to Chiara Ferragni, never before on the pages of Vogue Italia, that we dedicate the first cover story of a magazine that is renewing itself.

Thanks to the extraordinary work of previous management, Vogue Italia has always been able to keep the international debate around controversial topics alive, and today it’s ready to tackle a new challenge: bringing Italian stories, ideas and names to a global circuit that counts 27 editions.

And the common denominator is Vogue: an authentic and transversal publication capable of including different generations and varied points of view.

Chiara is the ideal protagonist for interpreting this new direction: she, a woman who is my same age and who works non-stop, always striving to achieve the right balance between the role of mother and successful entrepreneur. Oscillating between the public and private sphere.

Michela Murgia, who interviews her on page 216, enthusiastically accepted the invitation to chat with her “because of the importance that she as a figure has in the small, timid process of change that women are experiencing in this country”.

The key to understanding a significant part of the issue is privacy. And so, alongside Chiara Ferragni, symbol of total visibility in the social media market, there is an unprecedented portrait of Mina, an artist who has always lived away from the spotlight and who makes us reflect on the value of absence in a world of constant presence. Then, a whole series of contemporary artists, musicians and writers who, in order to stand out, have chosen the shadows as the perfect setting. And inserting themselves into a journey of reflection on this highly relevant topic, full of examples, contrasts and sometimes contradictions, are the Fab 5, who have to fight every day to assert their identity: “We have always been here, but no one ever wanted to see us”, they told us. The 5 BIPOC designers are the symbol of an Italy that is changing and Vogue is here, with them, showcasing this change.

The work of a great author, a duo of young Italian photographers for the cover shot, the new column by Federica Salto, the feature on the Fab 5, my editorial, Chiara Ferragni... And even something new for subscribers: in addition to the magazine, starting next month even the sleeve in which they receive it will be made of 100% eco-sustainable paper.

All this is the new Vogue. An issue of firsts, as it should be, at the beginning of a new story.

So basic, so trashy! It's at the level of a bad Marie Claire cover. Seriously the art direction is so appalling, and the subject matter is so pedestrian. Never understood her appeal to be honest.

Farneti had his questionable moments, but still, his Vogue Italia was much more elevated than this trash. Compare the last issue to this for example. They collaborated with Michelangelo Pistoletto!

If this is the new direction VI is going in, then good luck to them with that no-taste Gen Z audience, who this was clearly created for in order to get likes and clicks on social...

 

[dfl-001]

Since farsebook and instacrap is dead in the water...
here's the cover from models.com

 

[ah ah]

Not sure what is more basic - the cover or the editor's letter?

 

[mepps]

Awful cover, of whoever that is.
Reminds me of the mom from Alejandro Jodoworsky's surrealist masterpiece, Santa Sangre.

This is GCSE level writing.

 

[phungnam96]

This is the same level of secondary Vogue edition haha. They didn’t even try
