Franca Sozzani (Vogue Italia) to receive French Legion of Honor

5. Franca Sozzani, editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, is going to receive the highest French civilian award, the Legion of Honor medal. By being made a Knight of the Legion of Honor, she follows in the footsteps of Anna Wintour, Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, Selma Hayek, Nicolas Sarkozy, Martin Scorsese, Sharon Stone, J.K. Rowling, Elizabeth Taylor - the list is endless, and most notable seems to be the absence of Vogue Paris editors. Sorry, Franca, we are very happy for you, and we will let you finish, but what about Carine Roitfeld or even Emmanuelle Alt? And what exactly does this award have to do with France?
