In Milan, Alexei Bazdarev moves through three looks with Alyona Lihosherstowa: an oversized black suit, a silk slip in golden hour at the same park balustrade and finally a white crop top with cream trousers for a daytime walk that ends in an office chair parked in a residential courtyard. The wardrobe changes but the city stays put.
Alyona, represented in Italy by Infinity Management, stands barefoot in grass with the blazer collapsing off one shoulder; she stretches across the balustrade with one leg dangling, white shirt rumpled, hair full and unbrushed. The slip dress frames are intimate as the light turns gold with roses creeping into the foreground. The street look shows her with her hair up, jaw set, posture straight — a working model becoming one with a working city.
The portrait at the end strips everything else away. She looks back at Bazdarev with no styling to hide behind and the whole shoot earns its keep on her face alone.
