Instead, the fashion publication substituted illustrations. The change comes as Vogue Italia looks to become more sustainable. The illustrations are part of an effort to reduce the environmental cost that comes with staging photoshoots around the world.
As per a media report, the Italian team wanted to show that art and stunning fashion imagery can be created without causing any costs – travel, shipping or waste – to the environment.”
The illustration initiative is part of Vogue’s new environmentally focused mission statement, which was articulated last month and signed by the editors of all 26 editions.
“*NO PHOTOSHOOT PRODUCTION WAS REQUIRED IN THE MAKING OF THIS ISSUE,” reads the caption of the fifth cover on Vogue Italia’s Instagram. “A preview of the January 2020 Vogue Italia Special Issue on newsstands January 7th.”
