VOGUE ITALIA

The Italian edition of Vogue was created in 1965.
Franca Sozzani is currently editor-in-chief.
Everyone surely remembers her attack against the two showgirls
(known as veline which means “flimsy”) starring in an Italian TV programme called Striscia la notizia. She states: “These two represent a certain way of doing television which conveys a vilifying image of the woman. I prefer Lucia Annunziata* a thousand times over this trash TV”.

The prompt reply from the parties involved: “There is nothing more vulgar than prejudice and clichés. We are surely more covered up than certain models that appear in Vogue.”
