The Collector Magazine
The Great Escape











Apr 2025
The Great Escape is an editorial fashion feature for The Collector Magazine, focusing on the interplay between sculptural tailoring and minimalist portraiture. Photographer Nicola Pagano captures a series of high-contrast visuals that highlight the intricate textures and silhouettes of contemporary luxury apparel. The project channels a clean, editorial aesthetic, utilizing a mix of monochrome palettes and bright, even lighting to draw attention to detailed accessories and layered garments. Fashion editor and stylist Carlo Alberto Pregnolato employs a precise selection of statement jewelry and quilted handbags, while makeup artist Mattia Andreoli complements the wardrobe with a sharp, polished approach to beauty. Techniques such as low-key chiaroscuro and analogue film influence are leveraged throughout the series, creating depth through shadow and refined composition.
