Miles Aldridge tells yet another surprising, but not entirely surreal, story for [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club) Italia August 2011 in this superb photo shoot about parenthood.

Italian Supermodel Bianca Balti plays the role of a self-absorbed, spoiled Glamourous 'Mamma' pampered by her child. As you see the story enfold on the pages of Vogue Italia August 2011, the detachment of the mother increases with the attachment of her child too. The prettier the Diva-Mom gets, the hungrier is her child for love. The thought-provoking story is in time for the holiday exodus, encouraging reflection on the directions in which [motherhood is evolving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molly-baz1) in modern-day wealthy families.

Bianca Balti and her real-life child Matilde make a great -- and extremely photogenic -- duo for Vogue Italia August 2011. The duo powerfully channels the key emotions of this sadly beautiful story: boredom, self-centerdness, love and desperation. Bravo to photographer Miles Aldridge and stylist Alice Gentilucci who, with this photo shoot, add a bitter social theme to the Vogue Italia August 2011 issue.
