For The Real Fashion Issue, Elle Italia presents a series of portraits captured by photographer Giampaolo Sgura. The editorial project leans into a clean, contemporary aesthetic, utilizing studio lighting to emphasize sculptural silhouettes and high-fashion textures across various looks.
Fashion director Ivana Spernicelli and stylist Lorenzo Posocco oversee the visual direction, pairing intricate lace and avant-garde layering with oversized, voluminous outerwear. The series features model Emilia Bellfield, with hair styling by Ezio Diaferia and makeup by Mary Cesardi, maintaining a sharp focus on material and form throughout the vertical, minimalist compositions.
