Milan. Lights. Camera. FASHION WEEK

Autumn unfolds over Alberobello, Italy, where sun-soaked trulli and warm Mediterranean tones create an intimate, luminous story of seasonal beauty and understated luxury, captured on film.

At a time when the great fashion houses live in a constant cycle of reinvention, one question lingers in the air: how far is it worth reinventing? For whom does a brand truly reinvent itself? And what does it still mean to be a genius in an era where everything must fit into a commercial narrative?

It’s where speed meets serenity. Where the hum of the Atlantic whispers in harmony with the growl of a V12. Welcome to Aston Martin Residences Daytona Beach Shores — the newest chapter in the brand’s evolution from road to sky, from performance to lifestyle.

This story explores the essence of quiet strength and refined femininity through structured silhouettes, textured fabrics, and contemporary elegance. Set against the concrete geometry of the city, Modern Grace celebrates the balance between softness and power — where timeless style meets modern attitude.

Autumn invites us to slow down, to reinvent ourselves. Perfumes accompany this seasonal change, draped in a velvety depth. Freshness lingers, floral notes intensify, fruity notes soften, and woods take on a velvety texture. In this subtle balance between strength and gentleness, femininity asserts itself in all its nuances. Each fragrance becomes a gesture, an emotion, a look.

Launched as the modern heir to the original DEFY line of 1969, renowned for its boldness and resilience, the DEFY Skyline represents ZENITH’s vision of an urban timepiece that bridges heritage and innovation. Its angular geometry, strong silhouette and versatile design have made it a cornerstone of the Manufacture’s collections.

At Tallinn Fashion Week, the Latvian fashion house Verens made its debut with the collection Unveiled, presenting its vision of contemporary femininity.

In September 2025, Milan once again became the stage for one of the most mesmerizing shows in the world — Milan Fashion Week. For seven days, the city became a magnet for everyone who lives, breathes, and creates fashion. Among those observing and experiencing this event from behind the lens were photographer Daria Shilova and stylist Anna Berg from Riga.
