About PhotoVogue Festival

Born from the PhotoVogue platform of Vogue Italia, the PhotoVogue Festival is the Milanese event dedicated to fashion photography as a tool for awareness and change. The 2026 edition, the tenth, chooses "Women by Women" as its theme and celebrates the multiple ways in which women express themselves and represent themselves. Exhibitions, panels, presentations, and digital showcases animate the Braidense National Library, within the Pinacoteca di Brera complex, for four days of free admission.

Fashion photography as a critical gaze

The PhotoVogue Festival is the first international festival dedicated to "conscious" fashion photography, born in Milan from the experience of Vogue Italia's PhotoVogue platform. The underlying idea is simple and ambitious: to use fashion imagery not only as an aesthetic language but as a tool to address social, cultural, and ethical issues. A meeting point for photographers, artists, curators, and the public.

The 2026 edition: "Women by Women"

The tenth edition, scheduled from March 1st to 4th, 2026, celebrates an important anniversary with the theme "Women by Women": an investigation into the multiple ways women express themselves, tell their stories, and represent themselves through photography. The festival is curated by Alessia Glaviano, Head of Global PhotoVogue and festival director, along with Caterina De Biasio and Daniel Rodríguez Gordillo.

An exceptional venue

The event takes place at the Braidense National Library, within the Pinacoteca di Brera complex, in the heart of Milan's artistic district (Province of Milan, Lombardy). The program intertwines exhibitions, discussion panels, presentations, and digital showcases, in collaboration with the Pinacoteca di Brera and under the patronage of the Italian National Chamber of Fashion.

A festival open to all

While operating in the world of high-end fashion and publishing, the PhotoVogue Festival maintains a popular and accessible vocation: the events are designed for photography enthusiasts, industry professionals, and the simply curious, fostering an open dialogue on the most current themes of contemporary imagery.
