Vogue Ukraine

Dec 2025

In this latest editorial for Vogue Ukraine, titled NY Urban Chic, photographer Paolo Guadagnin masterfully navigates the intersection of grit and glamour within the metropolitan landscape. The project functions as a high-end fashion campaign that translates the energy of the city into a series of sophisticated, narrative-driven images. By leveraging high-speed freeze techniques alongside traditional portraiture, Guadagnin captures a diverse wardrobe that shifts from structural minimalism to romantic, vintage-inspired lace. The editorial leanings are elevated by the precision of hair stylists Ginger Leigh Ryan and Leslie Thibaud, paired with the meticulous artistry of makeup artists Megumi Itano and William Murphy, who ensure every look maintains a razor-sharp aesthetic against the industrial backdrops. Whether posed against the cold geometry of a tiled corner or captured in motion on a dimly lit crosswalk, the subject remains the anchor of a visual study in contrasts. The natural light treatment emphasizes the tactile quality of the fabrics, from heavy wool coats to ethereal, fringe-heavy silhouettes, creating a texture-rich dialogue between the model and the environment. This series exemplifies the power of modern luxury fashion photography to find stillness in the chaos of an urban environment, presenting a polished, cohesive vision that feels both timeless and aggressively current, successfully blurring the lines between raw lifestyle documentation and curated editorial minimalism.
