About

In Bare Walls, a visually arresting editorial campaign for The Collector Magazine, the boundary between architectural decay and high-fashion aesthetics is masterfully dismantled. Photographer Tassili Calatroni leans into a raw, tactile visual language, capturing the subject, Carolina Burgin, against a backdrop of weathered urban surfaces and saturated, aging interiors. The project thrives on the tension between the pristine, voluminous styling curated by Fashion Editor Gaia Fraschini and the gritty, peeling textures of the physical environment. Through the consistent application of natural light, the series transforms mundane settings—mint green walls, checkered floors, and rusted metal doors—into a cinematic canvas that elevates the lifestyle narrative. Hair stylist Giuseppe Lorusso enhances the organic, unforced quality of the imagery, ensuring the subject's flowing, curly hair serves as a constant, rhythmic counterpoint to the stark, static architecture. Casting director Michele Bisceglia grounds the editorial, choosing a presence that bridges the gap between ethereal grace and urban reality. Whether through a high-key, sun-drenched portrait or a low-key, chiaroscuro-inspired street scene, the work remains deeply rooted in a sense of place. Ultimately, Bare Walls succeeds as a sophisticated study in visual texture, where the interplay of light and decay creates a compelling atmosphere that feels both timeless and urgently modern.
