D Repubblica

Feb 2026

The Hotel Years, a standout fashion editorial for D Repubblica, captures the quintessential glamour of mid-century aesthetics through a contemporary lens. Shot by the acclaimed duo Inez and Vinoodh, this project leans into cinematic storytelling, transforming a traditional hotel suite into a vibrant stage for high-concept style. The narrative is defined by an interplay of rich textures—velvet armchairs, intricate lace, and shimmering sequins—against a backdrop of bold, patterned curtains and deep crimson carpets. Under the sharp eye of fashion editor Emmanuelle Alt, the collection is brought to life with a precise commitment to vintage-inspired silhouettes. Model Sydney Stabreit embodies this nostalgic elegance, her look elevated by hair stylist Olivier Schawalder’s signature voluminous 1960s-style beehives and Lucy Bridge’s striking makeup, which features vivid red lips and playful, romantic ribbons. The editorial excels in its variety, balancing soft, natural light lifestyle shots with more dramatic, low-key chiaroscuro portraits that emphasize structure and form. By expertly blending the theatricality of hotel-room escapism with the clean, deliberate compositions of high fashion, the shoot achieves a polished, evocative mood. This project is a masterclass in atmospheric editorial design, where every detail, from the choice of color palette to the placement of delicate bows, serves to build a cohesive and sophisticated visual identity.
