Three Decades of Haute Couture 2026

Description

Photographed by Paolo Roversi for D Repubblica's 'Three Decades of Haute Couture', this editorial fashion portrait features two models standing side by side against a neutral grey studio background. Styled by Jacob K, both subjects wear elaborate, tactile sleeveless gowns constructed with distressed, pleated, and layered fabric strips in tones of ivory, black, and muted pastels. Makeup artist Lucy Bridge created striking avant-garde makeup accents, including bright pigment sweeping over facial contours, paired with minimalist skull caps styled by Ryan Mitchell. The shot is captured with soft, diffused illumination that enhances the intricate sculptural textures and delicate draping of each ensemble.
