The Vogue Italia Deauville photoshoot showcases model Amber Valletta within a series of grey scale snapshots. Photographer Peter Lindbergh displayed zero interest in pops of color, a choice that fits with the dark romantic elements of the magazines February 2013 issue.
Valletta was styled by Jacob K for Deauville. He dressed her in revealing cut out gowns, strict bodices, tight lingerie and lace accessories. When paired with the mysterious imagery, these pieces came across as combative, making Valletta appear much like a modern day warrior. The natural backdrop added to these aggressive notes as the black waters crashed along the rocks and bed of sand. Readers will as such be enthralled with the mysterious production.
