A rather androgynous look, composed by an ivory varsity jacket and silk shorts, layered under a black silk dress, lands the cover. The unequivocal feathered hat and its matching bag, together with knee-high leather boots complete the total look by PRADA.

The Kajal pencil from BYREDO, blended with matching Eyeshadow 5 colors palette “Fêtes Noires” shades, crowns her stare.

Left: Various patterns mix up in this look: a floral grey shirt by YOHJI YAMAMOTO, paired with a pleated skirt belonging to the same runway look, plays hide & seek around a camouflage work jacket by CARHARTT, color-matching the ski hat by STETSON. Boots by UGG ground the look. Right: Wrapped in a checkered shirt and bermuda shorts by DRIES VAN NOTEN she’s definitely on the look out. A padded vest by CARHARTT and a bi-color shirt by YOHJI YAMAMOTO knotted on her lowest waist line, elevate the outfit. The armored boots by SPORTMAX lead the way.

The bold shapes of this sharp blazer designed by Maximilian Davis for FERRAGAMO, worn with matching wool tights and famous tilted heel décolletés, contrasts with the delicacy of this light shape-shifting embroidered dress by JORDANLUCA. A white mini skirt by VI VALENTINA ILARDI provides yet another layer.

Valeria takes a break. Her statuesque pose is toned down by a rather street-influenced look, composed by a black teared up blazer, classic white shirt and a pleated trouser-skirt by COMME DES GARÇONS HOMME PLUS. All styled with a camouflage denim jacket by CARHARTT and striking ski boots by UGG. Wavy rings by VANESI dress her hands.

Left: Every street is a runway in Milan. This time around, it happens to be styled in a full EMPORIO ARMANI look. Right: A firm stare, matched to a stiff trench coat and checkered shirt by DRIES VAN NOTEN, takes us back to stillness.

Left: Scales of Grey take over in this total look by SPORTMAX, composed by a double breasted blazer styled with matching sartorial pants, layered under a pair of leather chaps. Armored boots walk the look. Right: This quilted-roses PVC bomber jacket by VI VALENTINA ILARDI shines in the sunlight, styled with a leopard printed dress by ISABEL MARANT, layered over military green ripstop cargo pants by CARHARTT. The spikey MOSTRO shoes by PUMA and a baseball hat by STETSON finish the outfit.

She ends-up wearing a workwear inspired total look by LOUIS VUITTON, set in a post-urban context, and composed by track pants with laser cut patches, a matching bomber jacket, white shirt and sleeveless sweatshirt top.
