Harper's Bazaar Italia: Muses

Feb 2025

Harper’s Bazaar Italia explores architectural minimalism and textural storytelling in 'Muses,' a high-fashion editorial featuring Paloma Elsesser. Photographed by Szilveszter Mako, the project channels a sophisticated, gallery-like aesthetic through a series of monochrome and desaturated portraits. Central to the narrative is a modular, box-like set designed by Alice Martinelli, which provides a stark, sculptural environment for the collection. Fashion direction by Sissy Vian and styling by Stella Greenspan bring together sharp silhouettes, avant-garde hair styling by Pierpaolo Lai, and detailed makeup by Fulvia Farolfi. The imagery utilizes a mix of grainy analogue film and dramatic chiaroscuro lighting to emphasize the interplay between form, shadow, and the minimalist design elements.
