ALESSANDRO FRANCALANCI

Photographed in Los Angeles, this portrait series of Italian fashion designer Alessandro Francalanci approaches portraiture through personal objects, clothing, and fragments of the body rather than the conventional portrait.

Margiela Tabi boots, rings, and elements of Francalanci's surroundings become recurring points of focus, building a portrait through gesture, detail, and association. The images move between the subject and the objects that form part of his visual world, allowing identity to remain present without being fully revealed.
