Valentino: Fireflies

Apr 2026

The Fireflies editorial project for Valentino, led by creative director Alessandro Michele, explores a series of composed, narrative-driven scenes within ornate, historic interiors. The imagery captures a shift between moody, low-key chiaroscuro lighting and soft, atmospheric natural light, emphasizing the intricate textures of the collection. Photographer Willy Vanderperre frames the subjects against weathered frescos and dark wood panelling, grounding the high-fashion aesthetic in a tactile, aged environment. Stylist Jonathan Kaye curates a palette ranging from shimmering metallic eveningwear to structured tailoring, with the styling accentuating the collection’s formal and reflective details.
