Subsequent to being installed as head of editorial content at Vogue Italia, Francesca Ragazzi has undoubtedly made an effort to support and champion homegrown talent. A whole new generation of Italian models graced the February issue while the likes of Benedetta Porcaroli, Matilda De Angelis, Vittoria Ceretti, Donatella Versace and Chiara Ferragni have covered the Italian fashion bible throughout Ragazzi’s tenure. For Vogue Italia’s digital offering for June 2024, Laura Pausini makes an appearance via the lens of Sebastián Faena. The celebrated Italian singer-songwriter poses on the cover to commemorate her 50th birthday, and strikes a pose beofre Faena’s lens wearing a look from Peter Hawkings’ debut Tom Ford collection for Spring 2024.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Good god, I can’t even look at Vogue Italia anymore,” cried out aracic.
“This team is clueless, not worthy of our comments anymore,” declared an unamused ah ah.
“Poor Laura,” shrieked Alquimista, also suggest the shoot wasn’t up to scratch.
Xone wasn’t buying it either, expressing: “I’m sure a local talent would’ve made this much much better!”
“I am not familiar with Laura Pausini’s music but from photos she seems to be photogenic and have great style. Nsure how they ended up with that cover,” Urban Stylin chimed in.
” She should have stared deeply into the camera and it would’ve been a good cover,” shared oaklee91.
Yet not everyone was so disappointed. “No clue who Laura Pausini is, and at first glance I thought this was Béatrice Dalle. Quite like the cover though, by no means is it the worst Vogue Italia cover I’ve came across and I like the sense of retro I’m getting from it,” defended vogue28.
