VENICE — It was Iman’s night, to be sure, but memories of Franca Sozzani were recalled by every guest gathered at the Belmond Hotel Cipriani here on Tuesday, ahead of the Venice Film Festival, which began Wednesday.
Speaking with WWD about her friendship with Sozzani, with whom she had worked both as a model and on humanitarian projects, she said she believed “there is nobody in the fashion industry who did not have a strong relationship with Franca and as a black model she was a champion for us.
“You cannot leave the choice to a casting director,” concurred Piccioli, after taking several photos of Iman posing on the Venice Canal, with a beautiful view of the city and its celebrated Piazza San Marco in the background. “I post only my own photos on Instagram,” he said. Sozzani’s son, photographer and film director Francesco Carrozzini, who in 2017 established the award to recognize women who stand out for their artistic careers and their social commitment and that was first bestowed to Julianne Moore and then on Salma Hayek, said this was yet another way to keep his mother’s memory alive.
