Séraphîta-Seraphitus

By PAP Magazine Editorial

Cream knitwear envelops the body while buckled leather belts cinch wrist and collar, binding soft wool in clean geometric restraint. The sweater's surface alternates between chunky open-weave sections and tight stockinette panels, each stitch casting faint shadow in the diffuse studio light. Hair is sculpted into precise finger waves—tight spirals frame the forehead, while damp ringlets pool near the ear—evoking silent-film glamour recast through an androgynous lens. The backdrop's pale blue-grey amplifies the warmth of skin and yarn, holding the figure in a state of poised suspension. Shot by Kevin Bacciocchi, Stefano Cella, Giulio Fadiga, Andrea Sansoni, Aicha Laghbabi, Giacomo Giavolucci, and Giacomo Franci, this portrait balances stillness with the tension of restraint, a study in textural contrast and sculptural styling.
