A few years ago, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the weekly, the motto “Young people since 1938” was chosen as the founding date. But Grazia – the Italian femme fatale who, through her international network, reaches 15 million readers and 20 million social media followers every month, in 20 countries around the world – never misses an opportunity to prove that she is always young.

The issue she’s already on newsstands is a groundbreaking issue, created in collaboration with Eva Chen, head of fashion partnerships at Instagram, in the unusual role of a guest editor at the newspaper.

The magazine intends, as the director Sylvia Greeley declares, “to underline how print and digital, in this case a very powerful social network, can be allies to continue the fight of civilization for freedom of expression.”

Freedom of expression, tolerance and inclusion are the themes that, under the creative direction of Instagram, combine fashion with interviews and current research with the latest trends.

Eva Chen’s motivation is clear: “I want to dedicate this issue of Grazia to all those on Instagram who, through their courage and audacity, are fighting for change. This special edition of Grazia celebrates authenticity rather than perfection. It is a ode to the individual, not minorities, to a sense of community and goodness. She wants to challenge the status quo of what is considered beautiful, normal or ordinary.”

Various protagonists who are asked to share different ways of seeking and obtaining freedom: speaking on behalf of those who cannot express themselves, like the singer Elodie; They strive to give voice to their battles, like the singer-songwriter Mahmoud; Encourage African Americans to vote in the next US elections, like Whoopi Goldberg, an actress considered a symbol of anti-racism.
