"In times like this, we felt that a silent cover would speak louder than any word or image

It’s a universal message of purity, strength, respect, and hope. Yet behind the silence of this cover, a very lively and personal issue of Vogue Italia comes to life. More than 40 artists welcomed the challenge to contribute from their own quarantines. We personally asked each artists to “stay true to the constraints that we are all sharing in these difficult times, creating simple, honest images”, and to depict the  fashion “in a way that most reflects their personal moment, with nothing else in mind.” It’s fair to say that the resulting images depict the widest range of emotions, that seen together create a long distance community effort that becomes an important visual document of the times we are living. Ultimately, it’s an expression of what Emanuele and I believe Vogue Italia should aim to: talking about the world through fashion" [ Ferdinando Verderi, Vogue Italia ]
