BETWEEN GESTURES

10 Nov

Written by Editor

Giorgia Faraoni in a study of identity, femininity and the beauty of transformation.

Somewhere between strength and vulnerability, structure and softness, Between Gestures explores the fluid nature of identity through fashion, movement and the quiet intimacy of analogue photography. Photographed on film in Los Angeles by Kristina Koseva, with styling and creative direction by Lili Koi, the editorial features Italian actress Giorgia Faraoni against an untamed natural landscape. Here, fashion becomes more than a visual statement. It becomes a language through which contrasting expressions of femininity and masculinity can coexist.

Tactile knitwear, delicate lace, structured tailoring and carefully selected vintage pieces create a dialogue between the body and its surroundings. Silhouettes shift between restraint and freedom, while gestures reveal moments of vulnerability, confidence and quiet defiance. Rather than defining a single character, the editorial embraces the possibility of becoming many. At the centre of the story is Faraoni, whose work extends beyond fashion into contemporary Italian cinema. Her performance in Rossella Inglese's L'Origine del Mondo (The Origin of the World) earned her multiple Best Leading Actress awards, reflecting an ability to communicate the complexities of human emotion.

Captured using medium-format and 35mm film cameras, the series embraces the material qualities of analogue photography. Its aesthetic feels particularly fitting for an editorial rooted in nostalgia, texture and the subtle imperfections that give an image its character. An ode to autumn and its quiet transformations, Between Gestures considers fashion not as a fixed identity, but as an evolving expression of the person wearing it. In the space between gestures, another version of ourselves begins to emerge.
