About

In Gibellina, a striking editorial project for Harper's Bazaar Italia, photographer Camille Vivier and fashion editor Maria Giulia Riva masterfully bridge the divide between high-end fashion and brutalist public art. The campaign functions as a dialogue between the tactile sophistication of luxury bags and accessories and the rugged, imposing geometry of architectural landscapes. By placing pieces from houses like Miu Miu and Saint Laurent against weathered concrete blocks, geometric reliefs, and swirling glass installations, the imagery channels a sense of deliberate contrast. The execution leans into a minimalist aesthetic, where the soft, porous textures of suede and leather are juxtaposed against the cold, unyielding nature of stone and metal. Through the lens of cinematic editorial photography, the project captures these objects not just as retail items, but as sculptural forms that hold their own against massive industrial structures. The use of natural light is pivotal throughout, creating deep shadows that emphasize the material grains and intricate hardware of the accessories. By eschewing over-styling, Vivier allows the interplay of organic and constructed elements to take center stage. Ultimately, Gibellina stands as a testament to the power of environmental context in fashion storytelling, proving that when the right eye captures the relationship between high fashion and the built world, the results are both evocative and intellectually resonant.
