The Vogue Italia Paolo Roversi photoshoot places attention upon up close and personal looks at models Stella Tennant, Audrey Marnay, Saskia de Brauw, Melanie Thierry, Suzanne Lindon and Malgosia Bela amongst others.
Stylist Robert Rabensteiner matched the portraits displayed in this Vogue Italia series with individual outfits. Each of the women sported distinctive looks, a feature that was made readily apparent by way of masculine pin striped trousers, leather-trimmed floor-length skirts, button up dresses, metallic skirts, low cut oxford shirts and oversize blazers.
Backdrops featuring splashes of paint and chaotic patterns add to the drama that Roversi brought to life. Given the talented crew of females that he worked with, little was needed to showcase the apparel and current ensembles.
