Talk with Alessia Glaviano

In 2011 Glaviano launched PhotoVogue, an innovative platform on which users can share their own photographs knowing they can rely on the curatorial supervision of professional photo editors, championing emerging and established talents.

In her 20-plus years with Condé Nast, in addition to launching and overseeing PhotoVogue, Alessia has also driven selected special events and curated exhibitions in prestigious museums and institutions with some of the most important artists of our times. She also developed Vogue Italia’s Instagram strategy; curated a series of Masters of Photography video interviews; and led the art direction of numerous digital branded-content projects, such as Gucci beauty’s iconic story featuring Ellie Goldstein.

Marking the first the first conscious fashion photography festival dedicated to the shared ground between Ethics and Aesthetics, in 2016 Glaviano directed in Milan the first edition of the PhotoVogue Festival.

Glaviano was invited to participate as jury member in numerous internationally acclaimed photography contests including the World Press Photo, the Festival International de Mode et de Photographie à Hyères and the Leica Oskar Barnack Award; and has participated in several portfolio review sessions, including the “New York Times Portfolio Reviews”.

Interviewed by Caterina Lunghi, journalist and teacher and a selected group of students, Alessia Glaviano will talk about her career and approach to photography.

The talk is part of the “Disrupting Patterns” series, multidisciplinary and innovation-oriented open lectures that deal with various topics related to design, deepening them with the desire for research, contemporary processes and future themes.
