Mia Le Journal: CRIVELLI SERIES - GILDED ODDITY

Nov 2025

The Crivelli Series: Gilded Oddity project for Mia Le Journal explores the intersection of fine jewellery and high-fashion portraiture. Through a series of clean, editorial spreads, the work employs a minimalist aesthetic that prioritizes sharp texture and geometric form. Photographer Danilo Falà captures model Elen Giunio in a range of studio environments, utilizing soft lighting and desaturated palettes to emphasize the intricate details of diamond-encrusted chokers, drop earrings, and textured tailoring. Fashion direction by Elisabetta Cavatorta frames the series with an avant-garde approach to styling, incorporating unconventional elements like paper accessories and dramatic headpieces. The editorial curation, overseen by Federica Trotta with casting by Michele Bisceglia, balances staged portraits with detailed still-life captures of the jewellery pieces. Technical execution relies on clean, high-contrast monochrome and polished colour layouts, supported by hair styling from Ezio Diaferia and makeup by Lorenzo Zavatta.
