We may be halfway a very hot summer but, in July’s GQ Russia is still breezy spring. The magazine hosts in its pages an editorial titled “can’t showcase Russian alphabet” (“In the shadow of young girls in flower”), by Marcel Proust’s novel. While Proust dissects male and female throughout adolescence, the period that bodies and souls are blooming, photographer Michele Laurita through her lens captures an equivalent blooming fashion-wise, working the magic of double exposure in order to create a paradisiac landscape styled by Ekaterina Melnikova with protagonists Niclas Gillis and Jennifer McMannis.
