# All-White Magazine Covers The Vogue Italia April Issue Cover Represents Rebirth By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-04-08 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-italia-april References: [luxurylaunches](https://luxurylaunches.com/other_stuff/vogue-italia-releases-first-ever-all-white-cover-due-to-pandemic.php) & [vogue.it](https://www.vogue.it/) Magazine covers are usually full of attention-grabbing headlines and other visual content like images of public figures—but not the [Vogue Italia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collection2) April Issue. For the first time, Vogue Italia released an all-white cover design that's exceptionally minimalist and almost entirely blank. The decision was a deliberate one to offer a representation of rebirth at a time when Italy is one of the countries to be hit hardest by the coronavirus outbreak. As editor-in-chief Emanuele Farneti describes, "white is not surrender, but a blank sheet waiting to be written, the title page of a new story that is about to begin.” White is also the color worn by medical workers in the country who are on the front lines of the pandemic.
