About

Connect The Dots for D Repubblica is a fashion editorial series captured by photographer Esther Theaker. The collection of images leans into a clean, minimalist aesthetic, balancing structured studio portraits against warm, textured interior and outdoor settings. The series features model Vilma Friedlander, with fashion styling by Danny Reed. The photography employs a mix of monochrome and natural light techniques, utilizing analogue film to highlight textural details in both the subjects' attire and the sculptural surroundings. Set design by Beatrice Bonino provides a tactile backdrop throughout, complemented by casting from Evagria Sergeeva, Giulia Massullo, and Piergiorgio Del Moro, hair styling by Joseph Pujalte, and makeup by Min Kim.
