U Repubblica The Sitting 2026

About

This editorial portrait for U Repubblica's project The Sitting features a young male model reclining against a plain wall on a patterned carpet. Photographed by Luca Strano with creative direction by Ben Kelway and fashion styling by Tommaso Palamin, the subject wears a deep burgundy leather jacket over a light button-down shirt, a patterned neck scarf, and dark trousers. The lighting is soft and natural, emphasizing the rich texture of the outerwear and the contemplative, posed expression of the model.
