Leading figure in the panorama of international photographic criticism, Alessia Glaviano is the Head of Global PhotoVogue and Director of the Photo Vogue Festival.
The mission of PhotoVogue is to champion talent, both emerging and established, and influence visual literacy to help shape a more just, ethical, and inclusive visual world. PhotoVogue’s open calls for submissions helped launch the careers of photographers like Nadine Ijewere, Kyle Weeks, Camila Falquez, Kennedi Carter, Scandebergs or Mous Lamrabat.
In her 20-plus years with Condé Nast, in addition to launching and overseeing PhotoVogue, she has also driven select special events and curated exhibitions in prestigious museums and institutions with some of the most important artists of our times; 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.
In 2016 she directed the first edition of the Photo Vogue Festival, first conscious fashion photography festival dedicated to the shared ground between Ethics and Aesthetics.
Besides the editorial activity, she holds lectures and conferences on a regular basis. Some of the institutes and universities: University of Brighton, Central Saint Martins, IED, Bocconi University and the Milan Polytechnic. Alessia Glaviano was also invited to participate as jury member in numerous internationally acclaimed photography contests and portfolio reviews: World Press Photo, Festival International de Mode et de Photographie à Hyères; “New York Times Portfolio Reviews”.
