In “Another Skin Revealed,” photographer Fabrizio Piscopo, in collaboration with drag queen Mariah and stylist Filippo La Terza, delves into a narrative of profound transformation and self-revelation. Inspired by the figure of Saint Bernardino —a historical figure known for his advocacy of spiritual renewal and rejection of superficiality—this editorial reinterprets these themes through a contemporary, fashion-forward lens. A KALTBLUT exclusive.
The story of rebirth is depicted through the use of two distinct latex suits. The first, a black suit, symbolizes the old, restrictive skin, representing societal masks. The second, vibrant and sleek, represents the new skin that emerges after shedding these superficial layers, revealing a more authentic self.
Brought to life by an Italian team in the historic and picturesque locations of Basilicata and Puglia, this editorial not only captures the breathtaking beauty of these places but also adds depth and authenticity to the narrative. “Another Skin Revealed” transcends fashion, inviting viewers to reflect on their own identities and the potential for renewal, perfectly aligning with KALTBLUT’s commitment to art that challenges norms.
