Kristina Korb : ELLE editorial at the Vitra Design Museum, BRUNO MANETTI collection, as well as fashion shoots for DEUTSCH, ESPRIT SPORTS and OXON, summer fete in Berlin on 28 August ...

Pasquale ABBATTISATA is the first fashion photographer granted permission to shoot on location at the Vitra Design Museum and Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany. The shoot was realised for ELLE Deutschland.

Pasquale and his team, comprising editor Kathrin Seidel and hair and make-up artist Uli Wissel, managed to create a harmonic balance of design classic and current autumn trends in a unique setting: contemporary architecture by Frank Gehry, Tadao Ando, Zaha Hadid, Nicholas Grimshaw, Alvaro Siza and Herzog & de Meuron.

OXON of the Valentino Fashion Group picked Pasquale ABBATTISTA to shoot their campaign with the same precision and attention to detail. Model Nick Rae is simply eye-catching in outfits compiled by stylist Filippo la Bruna and grooming by Davide Diodovich.

Arlenis Sosa is the new 20-year-old top model from the Dominican Republic, who has just signed a Lancôme contract and can hardly believe her luck. She shows her mean side on the cover of DEUTSCH magazine and was photographed by Tony KIM for an unusual beauty story, dressed in a blonde wig.

For the new campaign, Andrea VARANI dressed his models in a new, snug, cosy collection by BRUNO MANETTI, who was also on set as the creative director and partook in a fruitful, creative exchange with Andrea.

How to toughen up: first the entire ESPRIT SPORTS team sweated during a summer kick boxing session at MTV Munich’s gym and then their teeth chattered at a frosty snow-capped mountain peak.

Still, despite the changes in weather and thanks to the happy atmosphere, the whole crew had fun times on set. A team comprising stylist Jo Stockinger, hairstylist Alexandra Waldher and the producers of ADD PICTURES helped photographer Philip NORTH COOMBES. The results are impressively energetic photos.
