Grey Magazine

Feb 2026

CAFÉ CRÈME for Grey Magazine is a fashion editorial series that captures an observational, street-style aesthetic. The project, overseen by Editor-in-Chief Valentina Ilardi, leans into a cinematic narrative through the lens of photographer Mila Forte. Shot on location, the series utilises natural light to highlight textures in an urban European setting. Model Natalie Alex is featured in a series of layered, high-contrast outfits, with fashion editing and styling by Sara Danese. The editorial incorporates techniques such as analogue film photography and clean, vertical framing to document candid movement against architectural backdrops, with hair by Vasso Vasiliki Stathopoulou and makeup by Hind Sousan.
