Arena Homme +

Dec 2025

For Arena Homme+, photographer Giampaolo Sgura and fashion editor Stephanie Kherlakian collaborate on 'The Art Of The Deal,' an expansive menswear editorial. The series channels the aesthetic of a cinematic period piece, moving through sterile studio portraits to moody, atmospheric scenes that evoke a 1970s and 80s corporate narrative. Featuring model Alberto Paolini, the project leans into classic tailoring, capturing the sharp lines of double-breasted suits, broad-shouldered trench coats, and patterned neckties. With casting by Simone Bart Rocchietti, the imagery transitions between minimalist studio settings and gritty, low-key environments. The production makes extensive use of analogue film techniques and high-contrast lighting to define the structural silhouettes and vintage office details that ground the work in a distinctively nostalgic visual language.
