About

Numéro Brasil’s Pearls editorial presents a series of fashion portraits featuring model Yani Matsunaga. Photographed by Pedro Arieta, the project is set against the backdrop of historic European public squares, utilizing the stone architecture and cobblestone streets to provide a grounded, documentary-style context to the ornate garments. The styling, led by fashion editor Giovanni Frasson, focuses on heavily embellished, dark-toned gowns and structured outerwear. The execution relies on a cool, desaturated color palette and natural light, capturing the textures of sheer fabrics and metallic beadwork in a restrained, atmospheric setting. Hair styling by Yohann Jouvanceau and makeup by Lucie Nguyen emphasize a sleek, polished aesthetic that complements the surroundings. Casting was directed by Remi Felipe.
