Italians Do It Better



Top of the food chain and almost every stylist and photographer's most respected magazine... VOGUE ITALIA REIGNS ALL.

Every month the likes of Steven Meisel, Tim Walker, Mario Testino, Karl Templer, Jacob K and more splash their creativity and talents onto the pages. It is cutting edge, contemporary, chic and couture for every month of every year. The least commercial of all Vogues, this magazine pushes boundaries in every aspect; the Black Issue is an example of this. To fight back at claims that black women 'do not sell' and that there is racism on the industry; the Black Issue was the first magazine to use only black models and have all articles based on black women in various fields of work. The cover (below) featured black models from history; Naomi Capmbell, Liya Kebede, Jourdann Dunn and Sessillee Lopez.



It seems only fitting to share with you some of my favourite Italian Vogue covers and shoots....
Let the mouth watering begin..
