D Repubblica Ladylike 2025

About

The 'Ladylike' project for D Repubblica presents a refined fashion editorial series that prioritizes clean lines and minimalist art direction. Photographed by Mark Kean, the collection leans into the tactile qualities of various textiles, from structured satin and wool to intricate knits, all set against neutral studio backdrops. Featuring styling by Suzanne Koller, the series maintains an understated aesthetic through monochrome and soft-toned portraiture. The execution utilizes analogue film techniques and natural light to emphasize texture and form. The shoot was rounded out by hair styling from Tom Wright and makeup artistry by Hiromi Ueda.
