Issue South America Petals 2026

About

Captured in black and white by photographer Massimiliano Gallus for Issue South America's project Petals, models Emils Germanis and Ruben Aiello walk alongside a pale stucco exterior wall. Casting was directed by Carlo Savoldi. The styling highlights contrasting textures and tones, with one subject wearing a dark high-neck knit sweater paired with light-toned pleated trousers and dark dress shoes, while the other wears a layered sleeveless top and light trousers. The composition utilizes natural outdoor side lighting and a paved sidewalk, creating a clean, horizontal fashion editorial layout.
