Vogue Italia released their January 2021 ‘The Animal Issue’, entirely dedicated to animals but with a hit of fashion.

“This issue challenges the illusion of an anthropocentric world. Animals do not exist for our purpose, nor as a function of what we would like them to be. It is almost too simple to stress how much we’ve been reminded of this by the effects of coronavirus, by the way it came into existence and how it has impacted our lives, freeing up spaces that wildlife has at least temporarily reclaimed for itself. And it seems almost too obvious that the fashion industry, like any other economic activity, must ask itself where the limits lie in the exploitation of natural resources, and what prospects are offered by technological progress.”

At this link you can read “Occupy Vogue Italia”, the story that the writer Sam J. Miller writes from the perspective of the animals.

Together we can create a planet full of beautiful things. Here are some examples on the covers and pages of this edition of Vogue Italia. They are practical demonstrations of what we could do together. But true collaboration requires a step back from you. Stop acting as if we are your property, as if the planet exists for you to plunder.

The course of action you are following is unacceptable. The consequences of your selfish way of life are becoming more evident day by day: indomitable fires that sweep continents, the sea level that rises and engulfs entire countries, 150 species that are extinguished every day.
