VOGUE
“When I arrived at Vogue, we didn’t even have email – it was basically a billion years ago.”
If you’re a young photographer, Alessia Glaviano is, without question, the girl to know. The Palermo-born, Milan based photo editor holds the golden key to fashion’s holiest book: Vogue Italia. Since taking up her post 18 years ago, Glaviano has helped mould the magazine’s approach to photography, taking it beyond glossy, model-filled mega-styled shoots — though it’s still, gloriously, known for that — towards a more democratic, socially curious place.
THE FAMILY HOME
The family home we sit in is very much a testament to that upbringing. From floor to ceiling the walls are a jumbled patchwork of photographs and paintings accumulated from family and friends: black and white photographs by her father; museum-worthy paintings and sculptures by Severini (in fact, Fondazione Prada recently borrowed a life-size sculpture of Glaviano’s grandmother as a girl for a recent exhibition); Franchina’s wild, abstract constructions. Her place, across town in trendy Porta Venezia, has a similar aesthetic, she insists: “I collect photos and books on photography” she says, “my house is similar, just on a smaller scale.”
