By Giada Biaggi.
PhotoVogue Festival 2026 Conversations

“When people ask me, ‘Why are you a comedian if you dress so well?’ I say: I’m a woman. I can do two things at once.” In the Italian comedy scene—where being dressed well is often mistaken for a lack of depth—Giada Biaggi turns style into a punchline and comedy into a runway. In this sharp, fast-paced stand-up set, she dismantles the exhausting myth that women must choose: funny or fashionable, smart or desirable, authentic or “on brand.” A long-story-short show about image, identity, and control—because in a culture that reads women’s bodies like headlines, getting dressed is never just getting dressed. And making people laugh while looking impeccable? That’s not a contradiction. It’s strategy.
