W Magazine: So Iconic

Dec 2025

The So Iconic project for W Magazine presents a series of fashion editorial portraits that blend classical romanticism with contemporary minimalism. Photographed by Angelo Pennetta, the series leans into a warm, painterly aesthetic, utilizing soft light and textured studio backdrops to highlight the structural details of each garment. The project features creative direction by Charles Levai and Kevin Tekinel, with fashion styling by Katie Grand, whose work defines the clean, editorial focus of the imagery. The portraits incorporate various techniques, including moody compositions and nostalgic set designs that frame the models in both architectural and surreal desert environments. Additional credits include hair styling by Claire Grech, makeup artistry by Daniel Sallstrom, manicures by Chisato Yamamoto, and casting by Ashley Brokaw. Models featured include Matilde Lucidi, Amedeo Mancini, Athiec Geng, Edna Karibwami, and George Anderson, under the direction of Editor-in-Chief Sara Moonves.
