The Elle Mexico Mathilde Brandi photoshoot offers an exceptionally messy look at the exquisite model. Photographer Federica Putelli captured the unkempt scene with a black and white finish, further dramatizing Brandi's unkempt tresses that hung about her face in no particular order.
Putelli captured Brandi standing in front of a crowded boat and an abandoned building. These backdrops made this Elle Mexico editorial all the more chaotic as the scenes are disorderly and untouched, making the images appear candid and natural.
Stylist Enrica Lamonaca challenged this messy scene with structured black dresses, silky pieces, chic shawls and double breasted coats. When paired with strap leather heels and thin jewelry, these formal outfits stood out all the more within each picture.
