A sharp editorial for ELLE Decor Italia, Mirror, Mirror by Studiopepe, a Milan-based design studio run by Arianna Lelli Mami and Chiara Di Pinto, is full of angles and geometric shapes. Although the title borrows itself from the world of fairy tales, the whimsical quality of this photoshoot is much different. Bold and contemporary, it uses the reflective surfaces of the looking glasses to its advantage by continuing certain shapes for a striking effect.
All in all, Mirror, Mirror by Studiopepe is quite abstract. Aside from the odd accent color, be it orange, green or yellow, the set design is very neutral. This allows the mirrors to stand out even more. This is especially the case since the mirrors are more ornate than their basic surroundings.
