Model, muse, artist and humanist, Conie Vallese takes us on a Roman holiday in the autumn travel special edition of Financial Times HTSI [IG] Magazine. This team also collaborated for HTSI’s Women’s Style Special AW25 [in the AOC queue].
Isabelle Kountoure styles Roman holiday-travel Vallese in Miu Miu for the cover lensed by Hill & Aubrey [IG]. Anne makes the same statement every week: for now — and I don’t mean a week or two — all roads lead to Rome.
AOC doesn’t treat Rome as a trend but as a truth, a key plank in the complex story of human civilization.
