Vogue Italia is the Italian edition of Vogue magazine. It is the least commercial of all editions of Vogue magazine[1] and has been called the top fashion magazine in the world.[2] Its imagery is frequently shocking and provocative; according to the art director of British Vogue, its photographs "go beyond straight fashion to be about art and ideas".[1]

Vogue Italia was established in 1964.[1] Vogue Italia and the Italian fashion industry have historically had a symbiotic relationship, with Vogue Italia contributing to Milan's domination of the fashion world.[1] Recent influential editorials have included Steven Meisel's September 2006 "State of Emergency", a visual play on the War on Terror,[3] and Meisel's July 2007 "Rehab", addressing recent celebrity visits to rehab clinics.[4][5]
