This assembly of talent brings a profound nostalgia, yet their presence is as commanding and contemporary as ever, proving that true style is indeed ageless.

Matthias Vriens-McGrath’s lens captures this narrative with a vibrant, raw, elegant energy. Each image resonates with a narrative that’s as much about the models’ storied pasts as it is about the timeless essence they bring to the camera’s eye.

The visuals are a masterful blend of boldness and simplicity, showcasing the subjects in an edgy and profoundly human light. The vibe is unapologetically honest, presenting an unfiltered look allowing the models’ personalities to take center stage.

The sartorial choices, curated by stylist Giulio Martinelli, are equally compelling. Fashion brands like Versace, Burberry, Fendi, and Loewe contribute sophisticated and daring pieces, perfectly aligning with the editorial’s theme.
