About

Love Notes is a fashion editorial series for Elle Italia, captured by photographer Giampaolo Sgura. The project leans into a cinematic, high-contrast aesthetic that draws on the tactile qualities of luxury apparel through a series of monochrome, analogue film portraits. Featuring model Danielle Currie, the series spans both intimate interior vignettes and moody, expansive outdoor settings. The narrative utilizes a grainy, raw visual language to emphasize texture—from wool coats and corduroy to rustic stone and rural landscapes. Fashion styling by Ivana Spernicelli, with hair by Ezio Diaferia and makeup by Luca Cianciolo, anchors the editorial in a deliberate, textured aesthetic.
