Vanity Fair Italia

Aug 2026

Blue Notes, the latest fashion editorial for Vanity Fair Italia, serves as a masterclass in modern denim curation, stripping away the superfluous to celebrate the inherent structural integrity of luxury materials. Under the precise lens of photographer Antonio Dicorato, the campaign leans into a sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic where high-end tailoring meets the raw, utilitarian appeal of denim. The series is grounded by the distinct styling of fashion editor Donatella Musco, who expertly juxtaposes voluminous, wide-leg silhouettes and heavy leather accents with the delicate refinement of ruffled pussy-bow blouses and textured knits. Model Ana Elisa Brito anchors the visual narrative, moving with an effortless, windswept fluidity that highlights the contrast between the model's dark, flowing hair and the stark, high-key studio backdrops. Technique-wise, the project masterfully employs a blend of studio strobe and natural light to emphasize the tactile surface details of the fabrics—from shaggy, wool-trimmed hats to structured oxblood leather seating. With makeup artistry by Manuela Balducci, which features subtle, moody tones, the shoot avoids the trap of excessive artifice. Instead, Blue Notes channels a sleek, editorial minimalism, allowing the intricate play of color—spanning deep indigo, rich olive, and soft cream—to take center stage within the framework of a refined, contemporary luxury landscape.
