During her three decades as editor in chief of Vogue Italia, Franca Sozzani reshaped fashion journalism with a bold, distinctive voice. She brought attention to subjects often overlooked by other publications, including domestic violence, drug abuse, and recovery. Her commitment to incisive, inclusive storytelling was evident in the July 2008 Black Issue, featuring only models of color.
With photographs by Steven Meisel, Peter Lindbergh, and Bruce Weber from Sozzani’s collection and the Vogue Italia archives, this book explores her work in fashion, her love of family and joie de vivre, and her influence on those close to her. Franca: Chaos and Creation is a tribute to Sozzani and one of fashion publishing’s most creative eras.
