Set against the ancient architecture of Villa Monsoglio in Tuscany, Vanity explores the collision of old-world grandeur and contemporary expression. Born from a desire to bridge the past and present, the project frames modern romantic styling against a backdrop steeped in history. It is a study in juxtaposition: the ephemeral delicacy of couture meets the permanence of stone, using wilting florals and weathered textures to question what lasts forever, and what is fleeting.

 

The result is a series of images that feel both grounded in heritage and modernity, a sentiment perfectly captured by the project's reception: "The editorial shoot, titled 'Vanity,' showcases a global collaboration between Greek couturier Celia Kritharioti, American accessory designer Liv Hart, Italian event and design producer Federica Beni, and international wedding and fashion photographer Laura Gordon." - Alexandra Macon, Editor at Vogue and Over the Moon
