Vivere Bene

This editorial, captured by Barbara Markiewicz Photography and designed by Lou Lou Event Design celebrates 'Vivere Bene'—the Italian philosophy of enjoying the good life. Framed by the iconic National Theatre in London, it creatively expresses the art of living well, loving openly, and defining your own path. The concept takes inspiration from a lively Mediterranean summer, featuring sculptural citrus displays, striped linens, and hand-painted textiles.

The creative team's goal was to juxtapose a gentle, Mediterranean style with the urban backdrop of London's skyline, creating a chic, editorial emphasis. The outfits by Velvet Johnstone embody this contrast, featuring sheer fabrics, striking silhouettes, and a contemporary, fashion-forward vibe. This represents la dolce vita for the modern individual - effortlessly chic, uniquely bold, and grounded in the art of beautiful living.
