The legendary magazine created by Anna Piaggi showcasing her favourite designers and illustrators. Like a parallel fashion universe. Despite her huge influence and figurehead status, Piaggi really had no peers, with almost nothing else resembling her output. Though revered by many in the industry, very few have actually seen of handled copies of Vanity. Early issues feature very close collaboration with Antonio Lopez, Bill Cunningham and Juan Ramos, and as the years advance, begin to feature the new wave of Italian design, as well as new Japanese influences. Many designers and stylists had their first appearances here, and seasoned designers of the day opened up in a way that only Piaggi could encourage, making Vanity an extremely unique publication.
