About

In the latest collaboration for Luncheon Magazine, Paolo Roversi delivers a masterful study of form and narrative with the project Paolo by Paolo. This striking fashion editorial leans into the intersection of fine art and high-end apparel, showcasing model Saskia de Brauw draped in an array of deconstructed, layered garments that challenge traditional silhouettes. Working alongside fashion editor Léopold Duchemin, Roversi employs a deliberate low-key chiaroscuro lighting technique to carve the subject out of the darkness, emphasizing the raw, tactile nature of distressed fabrics. The visual language of the shoot is inherently cinematic, utilizing studio strobe lighting and dramatic shadow play to highlight the sculptural headpieces and architectural styling provided by the creative team, including contributions from set designer Léonard Bougault. With the expert hair styling of Yumiko Hikage and the nuanced makeup artistry of Aurore Gibrien, each frame transcends typical industry imagery, reading as a contemplative, almost ethereal meditation on texture and form. The casting, curated by Chouaib Arif, perfectly complements the avant-garde aesthetic, as de Brauw embodies a sense of quiet movement within the project's moody void. By prioritizing organic, weathered textures over polished perfection, this editorial pushes the boundaries of luxury fashion, inviting viewers to engage with the intricate, frayed details of the design through a sophisticated, monochromatic lens that feels both timeless and aggressively modern.
