D Repubblica: Across Jaipur

Sep 2025

Across Jaipur is a fashion editorial series for D Repubblica that positions model Lakshmi Menon against the intricate, weathered sandstone architecture of heritage sites. The images lean into an observational documentary aesthetic, highlighting the interplay between avant-garde sculptural garments and the geometric stone textures of the environment. Photographer Phil Engelhardt captures the subject within arched alcoves and stepwells, utilizing consistent natural light to emphasize the tactile quality of the textured knitwear and structured silhouettes. The project features styling by Vittoria Cerciello, with casting directed by Giulia Massullo and Piergiorgio Del Moro, grounding the editorial in a deliberate, symmetrical composition.
