Three days of meetings, reflections, unpublished dialogues with some of the most influential characters from the world of cinema, music, sport and culture. All “Together” – as the title of this year’s festival states -, on the same stage, where everyone talked about themselves openly, without filters, snobbery, borders. An inclusive place, which has welcomed all generations, all orientations, all identities under the banner of freedom of expression.

After the digital talks on Friday 26 and Saturday 27, Vanity Fair wanted to invite readers and users to attend scheduled appointments face-to-face. And that’s how Sunday November 28th The Space Cinema Odeon, in the center of Milan, it has turned into a theater of emotions, stories, comparisons. But also in the keeper of so much music, the one given by the performances of some of the leading artists, and then more fun, emotion, reflections.

A weekend full of different stories, of which each was the protagonist, but which only if told and lived together could they make a difference.

The event, with the patronage of the municipality of Milan, was also made possible thanks to the support of some partners:

DAMAGE, for the fourth consecutive year it was main partner by Vanity Fair Stories. For the occasion, he presented the fourth generation of ŠKODA FABIA with an attractive design, great interior quality and cutting-edge technology. A decisive, elegant and connected car. ŠKODA brought Andrea Pinna to the virtual stage who talked about himself in an unfiltered interview and on the day hosted at the Odeon Cinema allowed guests to attend a talk and performance by singer Roshelle. The link between FABIA and the artists was “Drive your different”, the car launch claim and mantra of those who, like Roshelle and Andrea Pinna, are not satisfied with a single definition. Even with totally different lifestyles, they both choose a car that makes them feel empowered, that gives them the power to be unique, free. In short, to be yourself.

Thanks to:

Berlucchi, founder and reference company of Franciacorta; this year celebrates its 60th anniversary and has been named “Winery of the Year 2022” by Gambero Rosso “for making the history of the classic Italian method”.

With Millefiori®, the experience of home fragrances is transformed into the exploration of unconventional dimensions. It was in fact the brand, inspired by the city of Milan, that enriched and perfumed the spaces of the Odeon Cinema. Mineral Gold was the protagonist fragrance, a harmonious melody in which a fresh and pungent head accord inspired by fragrant ozonic and mint notes, meets a heart with floral nuances to close in a warm base accord that evokes the enveloping scented notes of amber and vanilla.

Pandora brought the singer-songwriter Aka 7even to the stage of Vanity Fair Stories with whom he made a portrait of generation Z passing through music, books and style.

The new concept, which invites you to break the rules of style, challenge expectations and be over the top, finds its valve of expression in the young artist Aka 7even.
