Photo VOGUE Festival 2025

The PhotoVogue Festival, the first conscious fashion photography festival bridging ethics and aesthetics, returns to Milan for its ninth edition. Held from March 6 to 9, 2025, at BASE Milano, this year's festival explores the theme “The Tree of Life: A Love Letter to Nature.” This inspiring theme celebrates the resilience, interconnectedness, and beauty of the natural world while addressing pressing global challenges.

The festival offers a rich program of exhibitions, panels, presentations, and digital showcases, providing an inclusive platform for dialogue and reflection. Visitors are invited to engage with a global community of artists, thought leaders, and organizations advocating for environmental stewardship and sustainability.

“Art has the power to inspire meaningful change,” says Alessia Glaviano, Head of Global PhotoVogue and Festival Director. “This edition of the PhotoVogue Festival aims to foster a deeper understanding of our kinship with all living beings and spark collective action to protect our shared home.”

The PhotoVogue Festival is co-curated by Caterina De Biasio (Visual Editor, PhotoVogue) and Daniel Rodríguez Gordillo (Senior Manager, Education & Community Initiatives, Condé Nast).

Since its inception, the festival has championed themes that are ethically and aesthetically significant, exploring subjects such as the female gaze, representation, masculinity, inclusivity, and reframing history. It has examined the pervasive influence of imagery in shaping our understanding of the world and addressed cutting-edge topics, including the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and its ethical implications in image creation.
