Versace

May 2024

Versace captures the essence of the Mediterranean season with its La Vacanza Summer 2024 ad campaign, a project that expertly balances high-fashion polish with the sun-drenched ease of an Italian getaway. Under the creative direction of Donatella Versace, the campaign unfolds as a visual dialogue between structural tailoring and effortless resort wear. Photographer Jo Fetto employs a dual approach, oscillating between the clean, crisp precision of studio strobe portraiture and the soft, organic warmth of natural light in outdoor coastal settings. These editorial images feature models Anthi Fakidari and Aivita Mūze, who are captured through a lens that feels both cinematic and candid, enhanced by Lorenzo Iandelli’s whimsical typography and hand-drawn graphic overlays. The work leans into a sophisticated summer narrative, utilizing motifs of marine coral, starfish, and seashell prints that ground the collection in a distinctively Versace identity. From motion-blurred night shots that evoke a sense of fleeting memories to minimalist, studio-bound fashion studies, the project maintains a cohesive, refined aesthetic. The integration of metallic hardware, structured accessories, and sharp tailoring provides a counterpoint to the relaxed silhouettes of silk co-ords and airy shirt dresses. Ultimately, the campaign functions as a love letter to summer, blending luxury storytelling with a nostalgic, scrapbook-inspired design language to evoke the feeling of a perfect, timeless vacation.
