METAL Magazine: facing the nightmare

May 2025

METAL Magazine’s 'facing the nightmare' is a expansive fashion editorial that explores intimate, observational storytelling through a series of candid portraits. Photographed by Arianna Genghini, the project leans into warm, natural lighting to craft a domestic atmosphere, capturing subjects in quiet, relational moments across varied interior and outdoor settings. With fashion styling by Serena Pompei, the editorial emphasizes diverse textures and layered silhouettes, ranging from knitwear and denim to structured leather and ruffled detailing. The imagery, which includes contributions from casting director Sofia Michaud and models Emma Rose Higgins, Lydia Celesta, and Teo Fortin, utilizes editorial techniques to balance clean, minimal framing with occasionally moody, analogue-inspired aesthetics.
