D Repubblica A moment for myself 2026

About

In the latest editorial campaign for D Repubblica titled A moment for myself, the intersection of jewellery and fashion is explored through a lens of profound quietude and refined minimalism. Photographer Maurizio Annese masterfully captures the essence of introspective elegance, utilizing soft, natural light to create a series of portraits that feel both intimate and impeccably composed. By focusing on the interplay between the human form and the timeless utility of a luxury wristwatch, the series elevates the accessory from a mere object to a companion of reflection. The styling, curated by fashion editor Francesca Ottaviani, leans into a palette of earthy tones and structured tailoring, where oversized blazers and crisp, layered collars provide a neutral backdrop for the metallic sheen of the timepieces. The intentional use of natural light ensures that every texture, from the grain of a leather armchair to the weave of a knit sweater, is rendered with tactile clarity. With hair styling by Armando Cherillo and subtle, natural makeup by Giulia Cigarini, model Sandra Murray embodies the calm, meditative atmosphere that defines the work. This collaboration strips away the noise of modern life, allowing the classic design of the watches to take center stage. Ultimately, the project succeeds as a testament to the power of editorial portraiture, finding strength in stillness and the quiet beauty of a solitary moment.
