Dolce Vita Revival
In Vintage Vibes, photographer Riccardo Pulvirenti channels the timeless glamour of classic Italian cinema. Inspired by the elegance of Sofia Loren and the seductive atmosphere of the dolce vita era, the editorial captures a striking fusion of vintage aesthetics and modern fashion sensibility. Model Deeann Borsos embodies this cinematic spirit with effortless poise, bringing a sense of nostalgic sophistication to every frame.
Set against the sunlit coastline of Australia’s Victorian Mornington Peninsula, the shoot unfolds like a scene from a forgotten European film. A gleaming red vintage roadster becomes both prop and protagonist — its bold curves echoing the confidence and allure of the era that inspired the story. Styled in sleek silhouettes and classic accessories, Borsos channels the magnetic charisma of mid-century icons while maintaining a distinctly contemporary presence.
The project itself was as much an adventure as it was a creative vision. Pulvirenti called in favors to secure the classic car and traveled two hours to the coastal location, allowing the landscape and light to complete the narrative. The result is a visual tribute to cinematic glamour — where past and present collide in a story of sun, style, and timeless allure.
