Vogue Italia

Jun 2026

Tropico Siciliano for Vogue Italia serves as a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling, effortlessly blending the storied heritage of luxury fashion with the sun-drenched, languid rhythms of the Mediterranean. Captured through the sharp, emotive lens of photographer Vito Fernicola, the project explores the interplay between classic architectural rigor and modern sartorial rebellion. The imagery leans into a sophisticated, editorial minimalism, where high-fashion silhouettes—ranging from tailored tuxedo jackets to avant-garde cut-out swimwear—are juxtaposed against the timeless stone balustrades and lush, palm-fringed terraces of a historic Sicilian setting. Under the guiding hand of fashion editor and stylist Robbie Spencer, the aesthetic is masterfully balanced, utilizing natural light to highlight intricate textures, from the weight of ribbed knits to the reflective luster of ornate gold accessories. The models, including Angelina Kendall, Athiec Geng, Charlie Jones, and Yura Romaniuk, bring an intimate, cinematic quality to the frame, whether clustered on a lawn or captured mid-submersion in a turquoise pool. With hair styling by Kalle Eklund and makeup by Patrick Glatthaar, the series successfully employs natural light and chiaroscuro lighting techniques to ground its avant-garde edge in a tangible, dreamlike reality. This collection ultimately redefines contemporary luxury by anchoring high-concept fashion photography in the visceral, tactile beauty of the Italian landscape, proving that elegance thrives at the intersection of tradition and the unexpected.
