Harper's Bazaar Italia: Mille Miglia

Sep 2025

Harper's Bazaar Italia explores the intersection of classic automotive history and modern style in the Mille Miglia editorial. Photographed by Craig McDean, the story leans into a gritty, retro-inspired aesthetic that draws from the legacy of the famed Italian endurance race. With fashion direction by Sissy Vian, the project features models Aurelien Franck and Jacqui Hooper styled in textured, 1970s-influenced silhouettes and utilitarian racing gear. The editorial employs analogue film techniques and natural light to capture a cinematic, narrative atmosphere. Set against backdrops of vintage sports cars and traditional architecture, the imagery balances sharp, high-contrast monochrome portraits with desaturated, sunlit location shots. The creative team includes hair by Pierpaolo Lai, makeup by Fulvia Farolfi, and manicures by Giulia Zacconi.
