Speaking about the models on the cover, Vanity Fair Italy’s editor Simone Marchetti said: "In retrospect, their departure from the fashion landscape and the arrival of less perfect beauty represented the beginning of a change.
“For the first time, fragility trumped perfection, vulnerability over power.
"And this is where we are today: the return of models is the last act of a revolution which is finally making peace with its own history.
“After having learned over the last decade to appreciate bodies, shapes and ages different, a new idea of beauty is finally making headway: that of freedom, respect and diversity.”
