Grazia International

Apr 2025

Back to the Future is a fashion editorial series produced for Grazia International, blending mid-century aesthetics with a contemporary, conceptual approach to luxury portraiture. Photographer Mattia Guolo and creative director Jean-Marc Mondelet orchestrate a narrative that contrasts vintage technology and ornate, antique furniture with sharp, modern apparel. The series leans into a polished, minimalist visual language, often utilizing monochrome tones and high-contrast graphic backgrounds to frame its subjects. The execution relies on a blend of clean studio lighting and nuanced texture work, incorporating elements like analogue film techniques and multiple exposure to create a surreal, layered atmosphere. Key supporting details are provided by hair stylist Jean-Luc Amarin, makeup artist Anna Sadamori, and manicurist Nafissa Djabi, whose work emphasizes the structural precision of the styling. Across the diverse vignettes, the editorial maintains a consistent aesthetic thread, focusing on the interplay between tactile materials, such as leather and tweed, and the stark, clean lines of its studio environment.
