Franca Sozzani Laments Fashion Magazines That ‘Make People Look Vulgar’ and ‘Pretend What’s Ugly Is Avant-Garde’

Have you ever been flipping casually through your French Vogue or one of your other magazines that costs more than a Forever 21 outfit (or maybe even as much as a pair of Converses) and wondered what’s in a bush? Or a nipple clamp? Or random naked young girls with ample bosoms? Italian Vogue editor Franca Sozzani would probably say “not much.” She writes on her blog:


For the sake of appearances, we have seen going around pictures that had very bad taste and went against all aesthetical grounds.

Why is it that the fashion magazines, the ones doing the most research, fall into out of line, worrisome, and at times vulgar traps? We have seen nudes of men and women for a while without purpose if not shocking the audience.

Up to which limit can an image be pushed? [Vogue.it]
