"Dear Franca, 

You, the most talented, unconventional 
and spirited women... 
and all over beautiful!" 

– Peter Lindbergh 

Peter Lindbergh is known for bringing a new realism to fashion photography in the 1990s—for the first time letting us into the lives of the supermodels through the photographer’s candid lens. Here, the German-born photographer talks about the film that came out of a recent 90-page shoot for Vogue Italia, which he dedicates to the magazine's late Editor-in-Chief Franca Sozzani:

“The entire October 2016 issue of Vogue Italia, titled ‘Walking’, was shot in Manhattan around mid June. We shot for three days—30 pages and seven models per day, 21 models altogether. 

"It was a great challenge to do the whole issue as a single story.The short film was shot at the same time by Thomas Lachambre, who is a very talented director of photography and filmmaker himself."
