"Our new world."
We are living through some unprecedented times right now.
And much as it is strange and overwhelming to us adults, I sometimes wonder how this
really must seem to the children of the world, who so suddenly went from having lives filled with school and fun and grandparents and playgrounds and soccer practise and ballet and birthday parties to literally being confined to their homes and balconies and gardens for weeks on end, no friends to play with, no teacher to teach them, no grandparents to spoil them.
Children have really taken one for the team during this pandemic, and I for one think they deserve so, so much praise for it.
To honour the sacrifices children have made, Vogue Italia
handed the creative reigns of the magazine over, reaching out to 100 kids between the ages of 2 and 10, and asked them to reimagine what a magazine cover can be.
From the 100 artworks sent in, eight artists were selected to have their work grace the cover of the magazine.
And needless to say, the results were all sorts of refreshing.
“Kids have been the most overlooked and least obvious victims of the pandemic,” said Emanuele Farneti, chief editor of
Vogue Italia in a statement about their “Our New World” cover story.
“We’re starting from them to imagine a new world.”
