About

Vogue World Milano, documented by photographer Ethan James Green for American Vogue, captures a diverse cast of models in a series of highly textured fashion editorial portraits. The project traverses a broad spectrum of aesthetics, from vibrant, sculptural pieces featuring feathers and brocade to refined, menswear-inspired tailoring in muted wools and greys. The visual narrative, shaped by the styling of Amanda Harlech, utilizes a moody, painterly lighting style and chiaroscuro techniques to emphasize the materiality of the garments. Set design by Felix Gesnouin provides a neutral, tactile studio environment that anchors the theatrical silhouettes and avant-garde drapes. Technical contributions include hair styling by Kiyoko Odo, makeup by Lynsey Alexander, and manicures by Lora de Sousa. The project is rendered through a blend of natural light and film photography, resulting in a cohesive set of portraits that highlight high-end fashion design.
