Simone Marchetti

European Editorial Director of Vanity Fair

Simone Marchetti, 51 years old, joined Condé Nast Italy as the new editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair in December 2018 and was promoted in December 2020 to European Editorial Director of Vanity Fair, overseeing the editions in France and Spain as well.

His previous work experience includes positions at Donna Moderna, Velvet (the fashion monthly of la Repubblica), the daily newspaper and website of la Repubblica, as well as hosting television shows on Sky and radio broadcasts on Radio Rai.

A visionary, authoritative, and eclectic observer of fashion, culture, and lifestyle, Marchetti has been the driving force behind numerous new cross-media projects. Among the most active KOLs of digital evolution in the Italian journalism world, he has contributed in recent years to the transformation of Vanity Fair from a magazine to a network of events, relationships, projects, and initiatives that blend tradition and innovation, print and digital, into a new flow of information and entertainment.
