Dior's SS 2021 Campaign Lensed by Elina Kechicheva Channels Carvaggio + Plautilla Nelli

The new Spring 2021 ad campaign lensed by Bulgarian photographer Elina Kechicheva [IG] is not unexpected. Her photographic techniques of light effects and texture capture both the mood, physical arrangement and superb coloration of the Old Masters painters.

“Celebrating excellence in savoir-faire and creation in all its forms — from Virginia Woolf’s feminist essays to militant collages by Lucia Marcucci that enhanced the staging of the show — the collection is captured in a campaign brimming with the unique power of painting,” Dior said in a statement.

Models in the Dior Spring Summer 2021 Campaign include fresh faces Holly Fischer, Judith Frament, Levi Achthoven, Maryel Uchida and Sculy Mejia. Fabien Baron is in charge of art direction, with styling from Elin Svahn. / Hair by Guido Palau; makeup by Peter Philips.
