Vanity Fair feat. X Factor: with the judges, in the name of talent

This feature featuring the X Factor judges is published in issue 40 of Vanity Fair, on newsstands until October 1, 2024.

Achilles LAURO

Aware of how music and fashion can work together, Achille Lauro, 34, conquers the public thanks to a charisma and an image that is always in motion and in continuous transformation. With him, the notes and the clothes become chameleonic, without ever losing sight of their essence and uniqueness both on stage and behind the bar. X Factor.

Manuel AGNELLI

Rebel by nature and nonconformist by vocation, 58-year-old Manuel Agnelli, together with Afterhours, writes one of the indelible pages of Italian alternative rock, even if the general public begins to familiarize itself with his hair and his pearls of wisdom in 2016, when he joins the great team of X Factorwhich soon becomes its natural habitat

Jake THE FURY

The beating heart of Club Dogo since their birth, Jake La Furia, 45, has two souls inside him: rap, which does not mince words, and a reserve that has always led him to defend his private life from prying eyes. All with an irony and a joke always ready that, on stage and off, shines for effectiveness and lucidity.
