A Star Is Born is an editorial fashion series for Numero Russia that channels a high-contrast aesthetic through a series of monochrome portraits. Photographed by Ivan Genasi, the project leans into dramatic chiaroscuro lighting and crisp studio compositions to emphasize sharp tailoring and sculptural silhouettes.
The series features makeup artistry by Silvia Dell'orto and casting by Aleks Ivanof. The imagery employs a deliberate use of film-inspired textures and vintage-inflected styling, including finger-waved hair and theatrical eye makeup, to craft a moody, graphic visual narrative.
