Vogue Ukraine

Jun 2025

Vakare + Lou is a high-fashion editorial story captured for Vogue Ukraine, defined by a moody, atmospheric aesthetic that moves between industrial interiors and lush, earthy outdoor settings. Photographer Antonino Cafiero centers the project on the dynamic relationship between models Vakare Steputyte and Lou Seriot, utilizing both high-contrast monochrome and soft-focus colour palettes to emphasize the structural silhouettes of the wardrobe. The imagery leans into the tactile nature of analogue film, exploring the contrast between distressed, rustic architectural textures and the refined, layered styling curated by Adrian Bernal. From sculptural headpieces to minimalist draping, the execution focuses on clean lines and low-key lighting to enhance the moody character of the frames. The production is supported by hair styling from Eduardo Bravo, makeup by Andrey Sebaoun, and casting by Ernest Rudzki.
