Project Carnale Room · Fragile Cosmetics Special
The Fragile Cosmetics Special by Carnale Room serves as a masterclass in the intersection of high-fashion beauty editorial and industrial design. This project moves beyond conventional product promotion, instead leaning into a disciplined, monochrome aesthetic that strips away the superfluous to celebrate structural form. Under the precise creative direction of Augusto Arduini and art direction that emphasizes a clean, minimalist silhouette, the campaign relies heavily on the sculptural capabilities of hair stylist Franco Gobbi. Each portrait, captured by photographer Nicolò Parsenziani, channels an architectural quality, utilizing chiaroscuro lighting to elevate textured, slicked-back, and finger-wave styles into works of fine art. The narrative is further refined by fashion stylist Ilaria Norsa, whose contribution ensures that the human element—bare shoulders, subtle postures, and focused expressions—remains in perfect equilibrium with the technical rigor of the packaging. The final output integrates commercial typography and structural product templates with these ethereal, high-contrast photographic prints. By blending the clinical, flat-lay precision of cosmetic packaging design with the raw, cinematic texture of editorial portraiture, the collection achieves a sophisticated tension. It is a bold statement that frames cosmetics not merely as commodities, but as components of an evolving, design-led visual language that feels both timeless and deeply intentional in its execution.
Project Carnale Room · Archetypal
Archetypal is a high-contrast editorial campaign for Carnale Room, showcasing a series of monochromatic fashion portraits that prioritize form, texture, and silhouette. Photographer Giampaolo Sgura captures models Birgit Kos and Maxime Laval within a minimalist studio environment, utilizing soft, directional lighting and low-key chiaroscuro techniques to emphasize the interplay between the subjects and their garments. The project leans into avant-garde and retro aesthetics, featuring structural couture pieces, layered ruffles, and intricate tailoring. Fashion editor and stylist Lorenzo Posocco drives the visual narrative, which is further refined by the hair styling of Franco Gobbi and the precise makeup application of Jury Schiavi. Through a clean, graphic lens, the series focuses on the technical nuances of garment volume and facial contouring.
Project Carnale Room · 11 PM STAMINA
11 PM STAMINA is a fashion editorial project for Carnale Room that explores the intersection of raw athleticism and classic portraiture. Under the creative direction of Augusto Arduini and captured by photographer Marcello Junior Dino, the series leans into a high-contrast aesthetic that highlights form and texture through a mix of clean studio setups and atmospheric, moody environments. The campaign features model Zack Carton alongside various subjects, with styling by Vanessa Bolognini that pairs branded athletic underwear with technical gear and minimalist apparel. The visual language shifts between monochrome editorial portraiture and gritty, low-key lighting, incorporating analogue film techniques to create a tactile narrative. Casting by Giorgia Aversa and makeup by Claudia Malavasi emphasize the project's focus on muscular form and dynamic, movement-based compositions.
Project Carnale Room · Back By Morning
Back By Morning, a sophisticated campaign for Carnale Room, blurs the lines between high-fashion editorial and raw, cinematic storytelling. Through the lens of photographer Erica Devin Snyder, the project captures the transient, intimate nature of urban life, moving fluidly between the quiet tension of studio portraits and the kinetic energy of city streets. By employing a mix of low-key studio strobe techniques and natural light, Snyder emphasizes the tactile richness of the collection, where intricate lace, textured leather, and dramatic faux fur take center stage. The visual narrative channels a sense of lived-in luxury, utilizing motion blur and deep, moody shadows to evoke a filmic, voyeuristic aesthetic. This editorial approach is bolstered by the precise creative contributions of hair stylist Jillian Halouska and makeup artist Hugo Villard, whose work ensures that the aesthetic remains sharp and intentional, whether framed against the raw concrete of a subway station or the refined architecture of a sunlit stone courtyard. Featuring models Caro Casay, Sasha Cortesi, and Valya Fedotova, the imagery reads as a series of fragmented, dreamlike vignettes that prioritize human connection and structural design. By integrating live-action techniques with classic portraiture, the campaign transforms the luxury fashion house's latest designs into a tangible, evocative experience that feels both grounded in reality and strikingly elevated, successfully capturing the ephemeral rhythm of a city coming to life.
Project Carnale Room · Back Side
In the striking new campaign titled Back Side, the accessory house Carnale Room leans into a rigorous study of form, movement, and material. Guided by the visionary lens of photographer Giampaolo Sgura and the precise vision of creative director Augusto Arduini, the project operates as a masterclass in editorial minimalism. By stripping away narrative distractions, the series elevates the brand’s bags and accessories into the realm of sculptural art. The work is defined by a high-contrast black and white palette, utilizing deep chiaroscuro to emphasize the organic contours of the human figure against the precise, polished aesthetics of the collection. Fashion editor and stylist Lorenzo Posocco punctuates these compositions with sharp, intentional accents—from croc-embossed leather to reflective metallic cuffs—that disrupt the minimalist frame. Each image functions as a deliberate portrait, utilizing techniques like foreshortening and dramatic studio strobe lighting to pull the viewer into an intimate, often abstract dialogue between the anatomy and the object. Through this lens, the accessories become extensions of the body, captured in poses that feel both contorted and refined. The result is a cinematic and graphic exploration of texture that challenges traditional fashion photography, proving that when the background is minimized, the inherent craftsmanship of the product commands total attention. This is a bold, cohesive statement on luxury accessory design, where light and shadow perform as prominently as the featured goods themselves.
Project Carnale Room · Back Alone by Alice Rosati
In the latest editorial campaign for Carnale Room, photographer Alice Rosati crafts a visual narrative titled Back Alone that masterfully dissects the relationship between the human form and high-fashion materiality. Under the creative direction of Augusto Arduini, the series leans into a distinct editorial aesthetic that prioritizes sculptural silhouettes and a disciplined, minimalist color palette. By utilizing a mix of natural light and precise studio strobe techniques, Rosati captures the interplay between texture and structure, from the glossy, patent finish of inverted-conical heels to the delicate, tactile quality of pinstriped cotton briefs. Fashion editor and stylist Guillem Chanza plays a pivotal role in the series, curating an avant-garde wardrobe that ranges from crisp, oversized shirting to sheer, translucent capes that challenge traditional notions of garment layering. Each frame, whether presented as a tight, high-angle portrait or a study in architectural footwear, maintains a sense of calm, controlled confidence. The compositions avoid extraneous detail, allowing the clean lines of the clothing and the model's posture to command the space. By stripping away the noise of high-octane luxury fashion house tropes, this project instead champions an intimate, refined clarity, ultimately transforming everyday apparel into an evocative, conceptual exploration of form, symmetry, and the quiet power of modern studio photography.
Project Carnale Room · BackBone
The BackBone project by Carnale Room serves as a masterclass in the intersection of luxury fashion houses and avant-garde visual storytelling. Under the focused creative direction of Augusto Arduini, the campaign strips away the superfluous to deliver a stark, high-fashion editorial aesthetic that prioritizes sculptural silhouettes and tactile tension. Through a series of clean diptychs, the work captures the raw interplay between high-end accessories and the human form, moving effortlessly from the rigid, glossy architecture of sculptural footwear to the vulnerable, emotive posture of the human back. Photographer Riccardo Meroni anchors these compositions with precision, utilizing both natural light and controlled studio strobe techniques to accentuate the depth of materials, ranging from rich, dark leather and sheer hosiery to voluminous synthetic hair and rhinestone embellishments. The project leans into a minimalist portraiture style, where the reduction of visual noise allows the unusual proportions of the garments to become the central subject of the narrative. By eschewing typical lifestyle staging in favor of a clean, graphic quality, BackBone establishes a bold identity that feels equally at home in an experimental art publication as it does within the pages of a global fashion powerhouse, ultimately defining a new standard for modern, conceptual luxury presentation.
Project Carnale Room · BackStage by Oriane Vestraeten
BackStage by Oriane Vestraeten for Carnale Room captures the evocative intersection of performance and private stillness, functioning as a sophisticated luxury fashion editorial that transcends the typical lookbook format. Under the refined creative direction of Augusto Arduini, the project channels a raw, cinematic narrative that finds beauty in the architecture of empty theaters and the quiet intensity of the dressing room. By utilizing techniques such as 35mm film photography and high-contrast studio strobe lighting, the series oscillates between the clinical precision of mirror-reflected preparation and the moody, atmospheric depth of darkened aisles. Stylist Vincent Van Laeken curates a wardrobe that juxtaposes structural elements—like lace-up corsets and architectural feather trims—against the fluidity of satin and sheer gowns, ensuring the textures remain the focal point. Models Leanne De Haan and Michael Zielinski navigate these austere settings with a sense of deliberate poise, their presence anchored by the intentional use of analogue film grain and natural light. The collection leans into an editorial aesthetic that celebrates the duality of form, successfully blending lifestyle-inspired intimacy with high-concept fashion photography. Each frame serves as a testament to the brand's commitment to visual storytelling, where the interplay of cool-toned diffusion and dramatic shadows creates a timeless, evocative aesthetic that feels both hauntingly contemporary and rooted in the traditions of high-end, conceptual editorial design.
Project Carnale Room · Cash Back
The Cash Back campaign for Carnale Room marks a striking departure into the interplay between high-concept luxury fashion and the raw, utilitarian aesthetics of the built environment. Under the creative direction of Augusto Arduini, the project channels a sense of deliberate, cinematic detachment that elevates the label's latest collection. Through a series of editorial images, the work leans into a sharp, structural minimalism that contrasts the fluidity of shimmering sequined mesh and bold ruffled silhouettes against stark, industrial backdrops. Whether capturing a model draped across scaffolding or navigating the sterile corridors of a hotel, stylist Ilaria Norsa meticulously emphasizes the sculptural qualities of the footwear and apparel. The project heavily utilizes natural light to heighten the tension between the saturated hot pink of a statement dress and the desaturated, geometric patterns of a drained swimming pool or weathered asphalt. With Tanya Ruban serving as the central figure, the visuals maintain a consistent editorial edge, effectively blurring the lines between high-fashion portraiture and gritty lifestyle storytelling. By focusing on the interplay of clean architectural lines and textural complexity, the campaign achieves an evocative, polished narrative that feels both transient and timeless, successfully positioning Carnale Room at the intersection of modern luxury and street-level industrialism while highlighting the tactile essence of the brand's sophisticated design language.
Project Carnale Room · Back in Motion
Back in Motion, the latest campaign from Carnale Room, redefines the intersection of athletic performance and high-end apparel. Through a series of stark, high-key editorial portraits, the project explores the tension between the human form and structured fashion, utilizing minimalist studio environments to strip away distraction. Creative director Augusto Arduini orchestrates a visual narrative where movement is the primary language; models are captured in gravity-defying, contorted, and dynamic poses that emphasize the architecture of the garments. Photographer Isabelle Wenzel leans into a clean, sculptural aesthetic, employing natural light to highlight the intricate textures—from feathered miniskirts to glossy patent leather and complex crochet tunics. The styling, curated by fashion editor Silvia Gabrielli, juxtaposes athletic-inspired silhouettes with sharp, high-fashion footwear, creating an equilibrium between utility and luxury. By utilizing live-action techniques to frame the body as a performative tool, the imagery moves beyond traditional product photography to capture a raw, kinetic energy. Even the utilitarian inclusion of simple studio details, such as wall outlets, serves to anchor the ethereal poses in a grounding, industrial reality. This campaign serves as a masterclass in editorial minimalism, proving that when the background is simplified to its most basic elements, the focus shifts entirely toward the fluid interplay of fabric, balance, and human strength.
Project Carnale Room · CARNALE ISSUE 09 COVERS
For Issue 09 of Carnale Room, titled Backwards, the publication leans into a provocative dialogue between minimalist graphic design and high-end editorial fashion photography. Under the creative direction of Augusto Arduini, the project presents a series of covers that challenge traditional media formats through bold, inverted typography and stark, saturated color fields. The visual identity of the issue is driven by a collaborative effort involving photographers Alice Rosati, Giampaolo Sgura, and Isabelle Wenzel, whose distinct lenses bridge the gap between commercial polish and avant-garde portraiture. Throughout the series, the imagery captures a deliberate tension between the human form and geometric rigidity, employing varied techniques such as studio strobe lighting for high-contrast clarity and soft natural light to highlight textile textures like ribbed cotton and black leather. Fashion editor Guillem Chanza ensures that each styling choice—from voluminous tulle ruffles to clean-lined pinstripes—acts as a narrative anchor, while makeup artist Hind Sousan maintains a refined aesthetic that keeps the focus on form and composition. By stripping away environmental context and favoring a graphic, editorial minimalism, the covers function as conceptual art objects. The result is a cohesive, high-impact project that redefines the magazine cover as a space for both typographic experimentation and the celebration of physical texture, successfully translating the issue's backwards-looking theme into a forward-thinking visual language.
Project Carnale Room · Issue 8 - Classico Carnale
For Issue 8: Classico Carnale, the luxury fashion house Carnale Room delivers a masterclass in editorial portraiture that interrogates the intersection of classical form and modern intimacy. Through a series of high-contrast black and white images, the project navigates the delicate tension between the rugged tactile nature of leather accessories and the vulnerability of the human body. Photographer Lady Tarin masterfully employs low-key chiaroscuro lighting to transform the frame into a sculptural study, where musculature, skin texture, and ornate details like western-stitched cowboy boots and fabric floral chokers become central protagonists. By leaning into an aesthetic of editorial minimalism, the collection captures an evocative, cinematic quality that feels both timeless and intentionally avant-garde. The compositions move fluidly from abstract, geometric body pairings that emphasize negative space to more grounded, character-driven portraits set within the sophisticated confines of a curated home library. Utilizing techniques such as analogue film and natural light, Lady Tarin constructs a visual language that feels raw yet meticulously composed. Each photograph serves as a deliberate exploration of connection and style, stripping away color to highlight the structural interplay of fabric and form. Ultimately, the project reinforces the brand's commitment to pushing the boundaries of fashion media, delivering a resonant visual experience that feels profoundly human and deeply anchored in the complexities of contemporary design.
