“I had been in contact Dasha Zhukova’s office, as she was interested in collaborating with me for the launch of a new magazine about art, fashion, and culture. They asked me to create something for them in line with what I did in my book A Matter of Taste, but using luxury brands. They were open to my creating a still life of accessories or a total look. They didn’t give me specific rules—they gave me freedom to create.

They put me in contact with the fashion editor Giovanna Battaglia, a former Vogue fashion editor, and we met in Milan to talk about the project. It was a really good collaboration, as we were very much on the same page with all the concepts. She proposed we do a different look for each different fashion brand, with an interesting structure and textures, and I worked on how to realize these concepts and decide which food would be the right choice.”
