Project Vogue Italia · Sabrina Carpenter
Vogue Italia presents this editorial portrait series featuring Sabrina Carpenter, captured across a collection of high-contrast monochrome and warm-toned studio compositions. The series leans into a distinct 1960s-inspired aesthetic, pairing voluminous bouffant styling with tactile, textured knitwear and high-fashion silhouettes. Executing a mix of tight portraiture and full-body studio work, the imagery utilizes chiaroscuro and diffused beauty lighting to define the subject's form. The project features clean, minimalist backdrops that emphasize the editorial focus on garment texture and high-contrast styling.
Project Vogue Italia · Dogue
Vogue Italia leans into a playful yet refined aesthetic with its Dogue project, an editorial feature that subverts high-fashion tropes by positioning the wirehaired dachshund as the season's most compelling protagonist. Captured through the lens of photographer Carmine Romano, the series masterfully bridges the gap between classic editorial portraiture and tongue-in-cheek humor. The chosen setting of a heritage barbershop, replete with vintage chairs and wooden flooring, provides a textured, nostalgic backdrop that anchors the whimsical subject matter in a tangible, cinematic reality. With creative curation from Head of Editorial Content Francesca Ragazzi, the shoot utilizes natural light and the distinct grain associated with analogue film to elevate the simple composition into a sophisticated narrative piece. Fashion Editor and Stylist Marta Oldrini expertly contrasts the wiry, organic texture of the canine stars against the sharp, architectural lines of oversized tailoring and sleek accessories worn by the human talent. By focusing on a shallow depth of field, the imagery isolates these moments of quiet intimacy, allowing the viewer to appreciate the interplay of pattern, shadow, and personality. This project serves as a masterclass in editorial minimalism, demonstrating how a singular, unexpected visual hook can define a contemporary media campaign while maintaining the prestige and visual language synonymous with the legendary magazine brand.
Project Vogue Italia · Vogue Italia September 2026 Cover
For the highly anticipated September 2026 issue of Vogue Italia, the publication leans into a bold, cinematic narrative that redefines the contemporary editorial standard. Captured with an evocative sensibility, the cover story features entertainer Dua Lipa in a visually arresting display of movement and urban atmosphere. Photographer Carlijn Jacobs employs a low-key chiaroscuro lighting technique to craft a moody, high-contrast aesthetic that feels both raw and curated. By framing the subject against a dense, looming cityscape, the imagery achieves a sense of architectural grandeur that anchors the high-fashion elements. The editorial direction, spearheaded by Francesca Ragazzi, finds synergy with the precise styling of Imruh Asha, whose choice of a dramatic teal gown with voluminous pleating provides a vibrant, fluid counterpoint to the rigid, dark brickwork of the rooftop setting. This project synthesizes the grit of an urban landscape with the polished refinement expected of luxury fashion houses, utilizing a low camera angle to enhance the sense of scale and drama. With hair by Jawara and sharp, graphic makeup by Sam Visser, the resulting visuals possess a deliberate, sophisticated tension. It is a masterful exercise in fashion photography that demonstrates how distinct creative voices, from set design to editorial casting, can coalesce to create a singular, resonant moment in modern media and entertainment history.
Project Vogue Italia · Dance With Madonna
Vogue Italia leans into a provocative blend of high-fashion editorial and kinetic energy with Dance With Madonna, a feature that captures the pop icon through a rigorous, dance-inspired lens. The project thrives on the intersection of athleticism and luxury, utilizing a clean, minimalist studio aesthetic that allows the subjects to command the frame. Photographers Rafael Pavarotti and Ricardo Gomes employ a versatile range of techniques, shifting seamlessly from soft natural light to dramatic low-key chiaroscuro and sharp, high-contrast flash. These choices create a striking visual dialogue where structural, neutral-toned leotards and bodysuits meet vibrant, saturated backgrounds, emphasizing a raw, almost reportage-like intimacy that pushes beyond the typical magazine portrait. The styling, curated by Ib Kamara and Rita Melssen, emphasizes a dancer's silhouette, further defined by the precise hair artistry of Eugene Souleiman and crisp makeup by Marcelo Gutierrez. Through this dynamic collaboration, the project channels a cinematic intensity, transforming the act of performance into a series of graphic, high-impact portraits. By juxtaposing the structured discipline of athletic gear with the bold, unapologetic glamour synonymous with Madonna, the work offers a fresh perspective on the editorial portrait, grounding high-fashion artifice in the palpable, candid energy of a working production environment.
Project Vogue Italia · Mariacarla
In this evocative feature for Vogue Italia, photographer Carlijn Jacobs masterfully bridges the gap between high-fashion editorial and fine art, centered on the enigmatic presence of model Mariacarla Boscono. The project is a study in repetition and surrealism, utilizing multiple exposure and double exposure techniques to fracture the human form against a backdrop of weathered, monumental architecture. By layering distinct, dance-like poses within a single frame, the editorial captures a sense of movement that feels both cinematic and dreamlike. Fashion Editor Imruh Asha elevates the narrative through a bold curation of textures, juxtaposing the high-sheen, metallic ribbons and voluminous, saturated ruffled gowns against the matte, crumbling stone of the environment. The styling is further refined by the sleek, uniform hair direction from Olivier Schawalder and the precise makeup application by Daniel Sallstrom, which ensure a cohesive visual language across each image. Whether positioning talent amidst classical stone sculptures or within sun-drenched outdoor courtyards, the work leans into an aesthetic of calculated tension. This series succeeds by grounding its surrealist elements in natural light, allowing the interplay between the organic decay of historical settings and the crisp, futuristic silhouettes of the luxury fashion pieces to resonate deeply. It is a sophisticated, highly polished exploration of multiplicity that redefines the conventions of traditional luxury fashion portraiture.

Captured by photographer Szilveszter Mako, the series utilises a sculptural, box-like set design with painterly walls of muted green and ochre tones to evoke the mood of classical portraiture.

Fashion editor Luca Galasso leads the styling, supported by hair stylist Chuckie Amos and makeup artist Carol Lopez Reid, while set designer Edith di Monda creates the atmospheric, theatrical environment.

Fashion editor and stylist Luca Galasso frames the collection with an emphasis on texture, featuring tailored suiting, sheer embroidered gowns, and minimalist details.

Project Vogue Italia · Mater(i)a Scultorea
Mater(i)a Scultorea is a fashion editorial series for Vogue Italia that explores the interplay between avant-garde silhouettes and the historic architecture of Matera.

Stylist Luca Galasso anchors the visual narrative in organic, earthy tones, pairing ornate knitwear and sheer lace with dramatic accessories to bridge the gap between contemporary wearable art and classical ruins. The series captures a contemplative mood through the use of natural golden hour light and warm, desaturated palettes, emphasizing the tactile relationship between the models and their historic surroundings.
