D Repubblica

Apr 2026

In the latest editorial spread for D Repubblica, titled Start the day, the creative team leans into a refined brand of minimalism that feels both grounded and aspirational. Photographer Maurizio Annese masterfully captures the essence of contemporary designer fashion, utilizing soft natural light to emphasize the rich textures of suede, wool, and linen against the stark, geometric lines of a narrow indoor corridor. The project functions as a sophisticated lifestyle study, where each frame acts as a curated portrait of modern femininity. Fashion Editor and Stylist Francesca Ottaviani brings a deliberate, high-contrast sensibility to the styling, juxtaposing structured neutrals with bold, unexpected pops of lime green and magenta. This visual tension is balanced by the seamless collaboration between hair stylist Armando Cherillo and makeup artist Giulia Cigarini, who maintain an understated aesthetic that keeps the focus squarely on the craftsmanship of the garments. With casting directed by Arthur Méjean, model Sandra Murray embodies a calm, direct energy that elevates the editorial narrative. By blending these elements, the series succeeds in transforming a domestic hallway into a professional studio space. Through a combination of precise studio strobe lighting and authentic natural light, the campaign highlights the tactile quality of the fabrics, proving that even the simplest environments can serve as a profound canvas for elevated, seasonal sartorial storytelling.
