Description

Vogue Portugal presents an editorial feature starring actor Monica Bellucci, shot against the backdrop of an artisanal ceramics workshop. The series leans into a clean, editorial aesthetic, utilizing soft natural light to contrast structured luxury fashion with the raw, earthy textures of the studio environment. Photographer Ricardo Abrahao captures Bellucci amidst rows of white plaster molds and pottery tools, emphasizing the intersection of high fashion and tactile, industrial craftsmanship. Creative direction by Jean-Marc Mondelet aligns the subjects' sculptural silhouettes with the setting’s weathered wood and distressed walls, employing techniques ranging from low-key chiaroscuro to warm, ambient photography. Fashion styling by Edem Dossou highlights elaborate lace and avant-garde layered garments, with hair by John Nollet and makeup by Letizia Carnevale completing the ensemble.
