STAZIONE TERMINI LOOKBOOK 2009-2021

REDVALENTINO HITS THE STREETS WITH THE VIVID AND RAW AESTHETIC OF NICCOLÒ BERRETTA’S STAZIONE TERMINI, LOOKBOOK 2009-2021

REDValentino is pleased to announce its feature in Stazione Termini, Lookbook 2009-2021, the first book by photographer Niccolò Berretta, who for more than ten years, has been photographing the people who populate the largest railway station in Rome, Italy. With more than twenty-five thousand square meters of surface and more than one hundred and fifty million passengers a year, the Termini Station in Rome is the largest railway station in Italy. Since 2009, the photographer has portrayed the people who populate this non-place par excellence. Between commuters and homeless people, tourists and regulars, Stazione Termini is a book that features more than five hundred shots and collects with a curious and original attitude the poses of passers-by, true essence of the station. With his vivid narrative and love for nonchalance, Niccolò captured and featured the REDValentino Spring/Summer ‘21 collection. He portrayed the models within the Esquilino Area in a realistic and natural way by using an unconventional and raw aesthetic. A photographical statement with no space for artifice or premeditated schemes, shot with a spontaneous, bold and radiant eye. Romanticism merged with unpredictable street situations, a representation of the real world where high and low live in harmony creating a new vocabulary of unexpected eccentricity and unconventionality. It was time to bring REDValentino into the street, exploring a new sense of authenticity and independency. To show a new, disruptive take on the signature aesthetic codes, delivering a wardrobe for cool, free, independent girls. Niccolò Berretta is a photographer and director of photography. He has worked on numerous documentaries, video clips and short films and collaborated with various fashion and luxury brands. Since 2009 he has been taking photographs at the Termini station in Rome.
