A KALTBLUT exclusive editorial. Photography by Gaex Guarin. The model is Leila Savadogo. Art direction by Davide Marfella. Styling by Costanzo Cataldo using fashion by Salvatore Crisciello. Makeup by Roberta Di Pietro. A journey into three dimensions of femininity, reinvented as power, dream, and transformation. Feathers are not mere ornaments; they become armour, veils, storms. They are lightness and strength at once, symbols of freedom that escape classical codes and transform into language.
Each look opens the gates to a new imaginary realm:
The Dark Icon emerges in an armour of black feathers.
Her gaze, hidden behind blue-feathered glasses, guards the mystery of the night.
She is the enigmatic sovereign, ruling over darkness with impenetrable elegance. The Celestial Visionary walks in a sheer gown, encrusted with white feathers and crystals.
She glimmers like a suspended dream, fragile and powerful at once, evoking purity and the enchantment of a world beyond reality.
The Rebel Muse dances in a whirlwind of pink feathers. She is sweetness and provocation merged into one body: femininity that does not bend, rewriting the rules with grace and irony. In this universe, the model transforms into a mythological creature, a bridge between earth and sky. The imagery draws from futurist art, the theatrical grandeur of couture, the freedom of drag culture, and the dreamlike visions of publishing. Every feather becomes a fragment of metamorphosis, an invitation to imagine femininity as a force in constant reinvention.
