Sunlight sweeps across the bleachers of Gianni Falchi Stadium, where photographer Michela De Cristofaro brings a sharp eye to familiar rituals and Fabio Mercurio’s styling directs every move. Davide Troni leads the story with a natural presence.
The looks capture the spirit of the ballpark through thoughtful layers, sharp tailoring, and relaxed finishes. Lightweight jackets and shirts set the foundation, drawing on classic lines but updated with unexpected details like a flash of metallic at the shoulder or a modern collar brushing the jaw.
Touches of color and print, from palm motifs to soft terracotta, call up summer afternoons and the steady hum of a game in progress. The styling never loses its focus, keeping the mood grounded in the familiar world of sport while offering fresh angles on tradition.
The editorial draws out the poetry in routine gestures, like resting a glove on the thigh, squinting into the sun, or tracing the pattern of grass with a sneaker.
Furthermore, it captures the energy of summer games and sideline conversations, weaving tailoring with hints of a classic American sport. The result is an invitation to linger in everyday moments, where fashion finds its place between the lines.
