Franca Sozzani's most boundary-breaking Vogue Italia covers
Legendary Vogue editor Franca Sozzani sadly passed away yesterday after a year long illness.
The head of Vogue Italia for 28 years, she was responsible for some of the most important (and controversial) covers to ever be published by a fashion magazine. Constantly championing the underdogs and raising light on global issues from oil spills to wars, Franca proved that fashion didn’t have to be frivolous.
“Fashion isn’t really about clothes. It’s about life,” the 66-year-old was famed for saying. Here’s seven covers that prove just that.
