Project D Repubblica · Kristen Stewart
In this sophisticated editorial portrait series for D Repubblica, photographer Ulrich Knoblauch strips away the artifice often associated with Hollywood celebrity media, favoring a raw and honest aesthetic that centers entirely on the compelling presence of Kristen Stewart. Through a deliberate application of editorial portrait techniques, the series captures the actor with a striking intimacy, emphasizing a textured, wet-look short haircut and a minimalist wardrobe defined by clean lines and high-contrast black-and-white garments. The project leans into a balanced interplay between studio strobe lighting and soft natural light, which effectively accentuates Stewart's features and the intricate details of her tattoos. Under the expert eye of stylist Tara Swennen, the imagery transitions seamlessly between stark, light blue backdrops and minimalist paneled walls, maintaining a cohesive narrative that feels both cinematic and grounded. By incorporating graphic editorial layout elements, the series functions as a masterclass in modern print media, demonstrating how restrained lighting and thoughtful composition can transform a standard portrait session into a nuanced character study.

Project D Repubblica · About the journey, not the destination
In the luxury fashion editorial About the journey, not the destination for D Repubblica, photographer Marco Lessi captures the meditative essence of transit through a lens of quiet sophistication. By utilizing the ferry cabin as a minimalist stage, the project leans into a cinematic narrative where the act of travel becomes as significant as the arrival itself. Model Maelle Swaelens serves as the central protagonist, her relaxed, contemplative poses grounding the high-fashion styling against the stark, geometric lines of the maritime interior. Under the expert guidance of makeup artist Giulia Cigarini, the beauty look remains understated and ethereal, allowing the interplay of natural light to define the mood. The execution relies heavily on natural light to create sharp, diagonal shadows that dance across the teal banquettes and wood-paneled partitions, effectively contrasting hard highlights with soft, lived-in textures. This lifestyle-oriented series masterfully blends utility-style tailoring with an editorial minimalism that feels both timeless and grounded in the present moment. By focusing on the interplay between the interior environment and the landscape glimpsed through large windows, the work channels a sense of introspective calm. The result is a coherent visual story that elevates the mundane experience of a boat ride into an aspirational aesthetic, highlighting the strength of simple, structured garments within a beautifully framed, sun-drenched setting.
Project D Repubblica · A flower is a flower is a flower
In A flower is a flower is a flower, photographers Angèle Moraiz and Paul Mougeot strip away the noise of modern advertising to deliver a masterclass in editorial minimalism. Commissioned for D Repubblica, this high-end jewellery campaign finds its heartbeat in the delicate friction between the raw, organic geometry of flora and the precise, cold brilliance of fine metalwork. By utilizing macro photography techniques, the duo transforms everyday blooms—from vibrant calla lilies to velvet-soft irises—into architectural stages for diamond-encrusted rings and woven silver bangles. The execution relies on a meticulous interplay of lighting, shifting seamlessly from high-contrast, low-key chiaroscuro that highlights the sculptural depth of the pieces to bright, even studio strobe setups that emphasize the pristine clarity of every pavé setting. By placing these luxury assets against bold, saturated backdrops of cobalt blue and deep turquoise, the work pushes beyond traditional product showcase, leaning into the realm of fine art. Every frame is a study in texture, where the velvet surface of a petal serves as the perfect foil for polished gold, creating a visual rhythm that feels both timeless and sharp. It is a refined, conceptually tight series that treats the act of adornment as an extension of nature itself, proving that simple, focused compositions remain the most enduring language of fashion.
Project D Repubblica · Jeanne Cadieu in Napoli, Italy
Captured against the rugged, weathered landscapes and coastal horizons of Napoli, this high-fashion editorial for D Repubblica serves as a masterclass in structural minimalism. Photographer Zoe Natale Mannella leans into the stark geometry of the Italian port city, positioning model Jeanne Cadieu as a centerpiece of both soft, natural light portraiture and sharp, cinematic compositions. Under the precise eye of fashion editor and stylist Vittoria Cerciello, Cadieu is draped in a series of avant-garde, monochromatic silhouettes that emphasize form, texture, and movement. Whether framed by the jagged stone of the shoreline or the muted, urban tones of the cityscape, the imagery utilizes architectural headwear and voluminous, sculptural garments to create a narrative of modern, dark elegance. The collaboration extends to the meticulous grooming team, with hair by Akemi Kishida and makeup by Patrick Glatthaar, whose contributions ensure a polished aesthetic that holds its own against the dramatic scale of the surroundings. By expertly balancing high-key editorial minimalism with moody, cinematic lighting, the project bridges the gap between traditional fashion storytelling and contemporary artistic expression. Each frame acts as a study in contrast, where the fluidity of sheer lace and layered ruffles meets the rigid, jagged edge of the rocky backdrop, solidifying the brand’s presence within the upper echelons of global luxury fashion.
Project D Repubblica · By Julien Martinez Leclerc
Julien Martinez Leclerc masterfully captures the intersection of desert landscape and luxury fashion in this editorial feature for D Repubblica. Through a series of high-contrast black and white images, the project leans into a cinematic, surreal visual narrative that highlights the sculptural qualities of high-fashion garments against the vast, shifting geometry of sand dunes. Utilizing natural light to cultivate a stark low-key chiaroscuro aesthetic, Leclerc emphasizes the interplay between organic environments and the rigid, structural precision of the clothing. Fashion editor Imruh Asha provides a keen eye for silhouette, while the collaborative efforts of hair stylist Tom Wright and makeup artist Thom Walker elevate the portraits with sleek, minimalist grooming and evocative detailing. The imagery functions as a masterclass in editorial composition, where the human form becomes an extension of the rugged terrain. From the tactile complexity of berry-adorned headpieces to the geometric severity of oversized handbags held in isolated desert voids, the work feels both grounded and dreamlike. By stripping away color, the focus remains entirely on form, shadow, and texture, resulting in a cohesive series that challenges the traditional presentation of high-end apparel. The project succeeds by transforming a barren, desolate environment into an expansive, conceptual stage, ultimately resulting in a striking, graphic exploration of luxury that feels modern, disciplined, and profoundly evocative.
Project D Repubblica · Nevermind
Nevermind, a compelling editorial feature for D Repubblica, masterfully captures the intersection of high-end luxury fashion and the raw, unrefined aesthetics of everyday life. Photographed by Craig McDean, the project leans into a narrative of deliberate disarray, featuring model Julia Nobis in a series of evocative portraits that shift effortlessly between rural autumnal landscapes and moody, utilitarian interiors. Under the expert guidance of fashion editor and stylist Marie-Amélie Sauvé, the visual language is defined by a meticulous layering of textures, ranging from chunky fair isle knits and leather bombers to intricate houndstooth tailoring. The execution relies heavily on natural light to ground the subjects within their environments, whether they are nestled among fallen maple leaves or positioned against stark kitchen tile. Certain segments of the series adopt a cinematic quality through a distinctive teal color grade, which enhances the cool, atmospheric tension of the imagery. Set designer Sophear Van Froment contributes to the lived-in feel, crafting spaces that feel both authentic and meticulously composed. By balancing relaxed lifestyle sensibilities with structured editorial rigor, the team achieves a sophisticated yet approachable visual story. The resulting work remains a testament to the power of layered styling and intentional composition, offering a fresh, rhythmic perspective on contemporary luxury that avoids the glossy artifice often found in high-fashion photography.
Project D Repubblica · I Put A Spell On You
I Put A Spell On You, a striking fashion editorial for D Repubblica, captures the intersection of domestic intimacy and high-style curation. Through the lens of photographer Juliette Abitbol, the project leans into a nostalgic 1970s aesthetic, blending cinematic portraiture with a lived-in, domestic sensibility. Featuring model Betsy Gaghan, the series channels a mood that is at once serene and provocatively poised, utilizing soft, natural light to emphasize the rich tactility of layered knitwear, satin, and leather. The editorial succeeds by framing everyday rituals—such as hair maintenance or a quiet glass of milk—as high-fashion narratives, elevated by the precise styling of Virginie Benarroch. The deliberate use of vivid, color-blocked palettes and retro set design by Giovanna Martial creates a cohesive visual language that feels both timeless and fresh. With grooming details refined by hair stylist Ramona Eschbach, makeup artist Christine Corbel, and manicurist Anais Cordevant, the imagery transcends standard lifestyle photography. By masterfully balancing these editorial textures with authentic, sun-drenched settings, the project transforms simple interior spaces into a stage for modern luxury, resulting in a series that feels like a collection of candid film stills, perfectly capturing a sense of quiet confidence and intentional, stylized beauty.
Project D Repubblica · Pomellato Together: Tales of Togethe ...
Captured with an eye for intimate connection and tactile luxury, the Pomellato Together project for D Repubblica serves as a masterclass in modern jewellery editorial work. Photographer Alessandro Burzigotti leans into a sophisticated visual language, balancing the warmth of natural light portraiture with the precision of high-end commercial still life. The campaign effectively positions Pomellato pieces not merely as accessories, but as intrinsic elements of personal narrative. Through the styling lens of Francesca Ottaviani, the imagery juxtaposes the raw, organic textures of wood and concrete with the polished, metallic sheen of pavé diamonds and intricate gold chains. Model Amina Seck anchors the portraiture, bringing a calm, reflective presence that complements the understated elegance of the jewellery. Whether through the playful arrangement of rings against vintage dice or the cinematic, studio-lit compositions of gold submerged in glass, the project feels grounded yet aspirational. By focusing on layered textures and quiet, human interactions, the editorial creates a narrative of togetherness that feels both contemporary and timeless. This project exemplifies how subtle editorial minimalism can elevate a fashion brand identity, utilizing deliberate, soft lighting to emphasize the craftsmanship of the jewellery while maintaining a warm, approachable aesthetic that resonates within the luxury jewellery sector.
