Elle Italia

Sep 2025

Captured by photographer Giampaolo Sgura for Elle Italia, this extensive fashion editorial spotlights model Aylah Peterson in a wide-ranging exploration of texture, volume, and silhouette. The series moves between stark monochrome studio portraiture and vibrant, saturated fashion studies, emphasizing a diverse wardrobe that pairs structured tailoring and intricate knitwear with avant-garde accessories. Fashion editor Lorenzo Posocco leads the styling, curating an array of looks that range from voluminous quilted outerwear and sculptural balloon skirts to tactile fringed garments and patterned lace. The aesthetic is defined by its versatile application of editorial techniques, utilizing both clean studio lighting and moody, high-contrast flash photography to accentuate the materiality of the clothing. Hair stylist Franco Gobbi and makeup artist Andrea Severino Sailis provide a range of beauty directions, shifting from sleek, swept-back styles and graphic, colorful makeup to voluminous, windswept textures. The session also features intricate manicures by Giulia Zacconi, rounding out the polished, highly controlled visual narrative.
