VALENTINO DONNA ACQUA

The story of Valentino Acqua is set in an alluring Italian palace. The faded grandeur of this opulent setting collides with the heightened romance of Alisdair McLellan's images. Worn pastel mosaics and peeling, carved architraves evoke an aristocratic sensuality. It's an atmosphere that subverts and reconfigures past codes, embodying the enduring union between the promise of the future and the secret knowledge of heritage.
