Tutto Normale with Greta Varlese
For the second chapter of our Summer 2025 campaign, we follow half-Italian, half-German topmodel Greta Varlese through a rain-soaked Milan. Shot in the quiet grandeur of Italian galleries and hidden corners of the city, this series transforms the everyday into something cinematic.
Tutto normale
Milan embodies effortless cool — a city where classic elegance meets the avant-garde in art, fashion, and design. This campaign channels the Milanese spirit of understated confidence, but with a twist.
What looks ordinary at first glance unfolds into something quietly bold, slightly surreal, and unexpectedly style.
