SURVIVAL MODE

By PAP Magazine Editorial

Metallic gloves shimmer with the lustre of salvaged armour, gripping rough stone fragments against the clean lines of a beige tailored jacket. Bold blue paint strokes sweep across the face like war markings, framing the eyes while transparent clips anchor slicked-back hair in place. Under the styling direction of Alice Maggioni and Esther Berisic, marine-printed mesh tops meet cargo trousers in olive-brown, their oversized utility pockets lending sculptural weight to the silhouette. The studio backdrop glows in gradients of purple and blue, casting cool light that accentuates every texture—from the wetness of the hair to the crumbling surface of the rocks scattered on set. Directed by Adriano Tinscello with vision by Camilla Renda, the Elite Milano model holds an unflinching gaze, embodying a narrative of endurance where fashion meets the elemental.
