There is something very deep and emotional in the FW12 collection Area by Barbara Bologna.
Everything seems irretrievably lost in these captures, as each subject avoids looking at the camera and turns to face the other way.
This poetic concept is expertly translated into the clothes worn by the models, as each dress is enriched with wrinkled leathers combined with soft and super-merino wool that fits either the male or female body.
The clothing is done in an avant-garde style, where edginess is clear in each outfit. The mood of the editorial is quite dark, as each subject becomes muted with the blackened aesthetic of the pictures. Still, this editorial demonstrates how Gothic style is still prominent.
