D Repubblica

Jul 2026

In the striking editorial feature A Modo Mio for D Repubblica, photographer Ethan James Green and stylist Haley Wollens collaborate to push the boundaries of luxury fashion through a lens of stark, avant-garde minimalism. This high-fashion campaign centers on the interplay between architectural garment construction and the expressive, often acrobatic physicality of its subject, Irina Shayk. The visual narrative relies heavily on studio strobe lighting to maintain a pristine, clinical aesthetic, effectively isolating each silhouette against a uniform, neutral grey backdrop. By blending disparate elements—such as mannequin torsos, rope-like fringe, and bold graphic contrasts between black blazers and stark white tights—the team crafts a series of portraits that feel simultaneously rigid and performative. The styling leans into an unconventional, layered approach, with hair by Sonny Molina and precise makeup by Kabuki emphasizing a sharp, focused intensity that anchors the experimental fashion choices. This editorial project demonstrates a masterful command of texture and proportion, utilizing the studio environment as a blank canvas to elevate the clothing into sculptural art. The result is a rigorous, deeply intentional exploration of form where the body acts as a kinetic instrument, seamlessly integrating avant-garde techniques with the classic, elevated sensibility expected from a luxury fashion house production.
