D Repubblica

Mar 2026

In this evocative series for D Repubblica, photographer Osma Harvilahti crafts a sophisticated narrative that explores the intersection of high fashion and quiet, everyday surrealism. Featuring the distinct presence of model Nanne Groenewegen, the editorial fashion campaign masterfully balances structure with playful, often enigmatic gestures. Whether capturing Groenewegen against a stark, minimalist white backdrop or within the verdant depth of an overgrown garden, Harvilahti utilizes diffused natural light to emphasize the rich textures of oversized leather, tailored blazers, and layered denim. The visual language here leans into a contemporary editorial aesthetic where clean, geometric lines are periodically disrupted by surprising props, such as a bright yellow shoe tree or a stylized paper flower. With the sharp eye of fashion editor Francesca Cefis guiding the styling, the portraits oscillate between poised formality and contemplative lifestyle moments. Supporting technical craft from hair stylist Laurence Walker and makeup artist Satoko Watanabe ensures that each look—from crisp white cuffs to saturated red shirting—remains meticulously composed yet effortlessly readable. Set design by Michael Price grounds the work in a clean, curated atmosphere that allows the wardrobe to speak with authority. Ultimately, the shoot functions as a masterclass in modern portraiture, finding harmony in the contrast between traditional luxury tailoring and the raw, unhurried stillness of its subject.
