In the thick of June’s summer heat, MTL Studio unveiled their SS26 collection, Sagra di Paese, at Fondazione Sozzani. I was thrilled to be part of the experience as one of the photographers, capturing the energy and charm of this vibrant presentation.
Rather than opting for a traditional runway, MTL Studio embraced a playful, community-inspired presentation. The venue was decorated to mimic the atmosphere of a small-town Italian festival with a table set for playing cards, benches around a makeshift ball court, and lively folk music blasting through the speaker.

Vertical and horizontal, masculine and feminine, earth and water, light and shadow. It is all about equilibrium. This season Zambelli collaborated with Lineapple and introduced several leather…
