Laila le mannequin: Ilaria Iacoviello

20 Mar

Set against a dark, minimal backdrop, this series centres on controlled movement and quiet expression. Model Laila Bastet Petra Baccolo moves between strength and vulnerability, with each pose feeling deliberate yet fluid, allowing emotion to build naturally across the frames.

Creative Director Ilaria Iacoviello shapes the overall vision with a restrained, thoughtful approach, keeping the focus on form, mood, and subtle narrative. Photographer Emilie Volatild captures this direction with a soft, considered use of light, drawing attention to gesture and shadow while maintaining a clean, uncluttered composition.

The fashion, designed by Alice Notaristefano, introduces structure without overpowering the imagery, complementing the sculptural quality of the poses. Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist Vanessa Vastola adds definition and character, enhancing the tone of the series while allowing the model’s expression to remain central.

The result is a cohesive editorial that feels introspective, composed, and quietly impactful.
