Ludovic de Saint Sernin FW25 Campaign: Power Play

For Fall/Winter 2025, Ludovic de Saint Sernin brings his signature sensuality to the boardroom. Starring Amelia Gray alongside Alejo Humanes and Lewis Gillooley, the campaign plays with themes of power, control, and desire—merging officewear with after-hours provocation.

Shot by Stuart Winecoff and styled by Carlos Nazario, the imagery channels Helmut Newton’s cool eroticism: crisp shirting peels back to reveal latex and leather, while sharp tailoring contrasts with intimate moments—a kiss between boys, a mistress in command.

It’s a wardrobe built for 9-to-5-to-9, where fantasy meets functionality. Saint Sernin’s message is clear: power isn’t just what you wear—it’s what you dare to reveal.

Pietro Boselli Gets Wet — And Philosophical — in His Steamiest Shoot Yet

Pietro Boselli is no stranger to thirst traps — but his latest series dives deeper. Shot against the sun-drenched backdrop of Piana degli Ulivi di Ostuni, Aliquid Aqua Inest (Latin for “there is something in the water”) sees the sculpted polymath turning a simple outdoor shower into a moment of sensual meditation.

Yes, the water clings. Yes, the light hits just right. But beneath the heat and skin, there’s something more: a quiet invitation to rethink what pleasure, wellness, and modern masculinity really look like.

With 3.4 million Instagram followers and counting, Pietro isn’t just serving body — he’s curating a lifestyle. Call it la dolce vita 2.0: equal parts philosopher and fantasy, sweat and soul.

These aren’t just hot pics — they’re a vibe, a vision, a challenge to live (and look) beautifully.

La Verbena: a Queer Story by Rubén Sánchez

Spanish director Rubén Sánchez (Furias, Prime Video/Filmin) returns with La Verbena, an intimate, emotionally charged LGBTQ+ film set on a sultry summer night in Barcelona. Blending vibrant festivity with personal introspection, the film follows a close-knit group of friends gathering before heading to the iconic Gràcia neighborhood celebrations. At the heart of the story are Alex (Gabriel D’Almeida, Matthias & Maxime) and Marc (Robin Reese), two childhood friends whose reunion stirs unresolved feelings and long-buried truths.

Alex, on the brink of fatherhood with his girlfriend Anna (Aida Quintana), is struggling to accept his own sexuality. The surprise arrival of Marc, visiting from London, triggers a series of revelations that test their friendship and force both men to confront their fears, desires, and identities. The ensemble cast includes Meri Anglès, Paula Lucas, Marga Leão, Joma, and Serigne Sylla—each playing a role in the emotional unraveling that unfolds across the night.

Shot entirely in Barcelona, the film is as much a visual journey as it is a narrative one. “Cinema can change how we see things,” Sánchez says. “Gabriel and Robin took on incredibly layered roles and delivered unforgettable performances.” Produced by Carla Fernández in her first collaboration with Sánchez, La Verbena is both an aesthetic and conceptual statement about the challenges of self-acceptance and the emotional complexities of queer experience.

An unforgettable night. A celebration. A reckoning. Take a first look at La Verbena now.

Hard Core Fantasy Collection by Alan Crecetti

Alan Crocetti’s Hard Core Fantasy is out now.

The collection is a striking exploration of identity, desire, and self-protection. Known for his sensual, symbolic approach to jewellery, the Brazilian-born designer pushes further into emotional territory, crafting pieces that challenge the wearer to confront vulnerability while channelling strength.

The name itself is a manifesto. Core reflects Crocetti’s signature emotional depth. Hard is a declaration of unapologetic selfhood. And Fantasy is the space where transformation takes place—a realm where identity can shift, expand, and evolve.

“Fantasy is how we survive,” Crocetti says. “It’s where we try on new skins, tell ourselves new stories.”

In Hard Core Fantasy, jewelry becomes more than ornament—it’s a form of self-expression, armor, and personal mythology.

IN CONVERSATION WITH MANUEL BETANCURT

Colombian dancer Manuel Betancurt has taken his talent from local stages to dancing with global stars like Dua Lipa. In Conversation, he opens up about his journey, inspirations, and what it's like performing on the world stage.

What first sparked your passion for dance, and how did you begin your journey?

I've always had a strong passion for dance. It’s been a part of my life since I was a child. I simply let myself be guided by that passion, and it became so powerful that it ended up carving its own path for me.

Was there a particular moment or influence that led you to pursue dance professionally?

I just dedicated a lot of time and energy to it, and as I said, my professional life took its own direction. On my part, I always insisted on wanting to dance.

Who were some of your early inspirations or role models in the world of dance?

As a teenager, I learned from tutorials by Matt Steffanina, a dancer from LA who was trending at the time, and I was also really inspired by Jade Chynoweth.

Looking back, which collaboration or performance stands out to you as the most memorable?

One of my most impactful recent experiences was working with Nathy Peluso. She’s an artist I admire deeply. More than just being featured in her music video, it was about sharing space and energy with her—it was fantastic.

What do you find to be the biggest challenge of being a professional dancer?

In my opinion, the biggest challenge is staying persistent in what you want and believing you’ll achieve it. At the same time, knowing that the learning process never ends—there’s always something more.

When you're not dancing, how do you like to spend your time or unwind?

I enjoy spending time alone, being in a park having a picnic, listening to music, reading, writing, or just observing my surroundings—it’s one of my favorite things.

How do you maintain balance and stay grounded in such a demanding and fast-paced industry?

For me, it’s been essential to work on my mental well-being in order to navigate the toxic aspects of the industry. It can be exhausting and draining, but knowing how to disconnect and live a life outside of it has helped me see the good side and feel comfortable and at peace where I am.

How has your family and close circle supported you throughout your career?

At first, my family didn’t fully believe I could make a living from dance, but little by little they started to see it was possible. Now their support is unconditional. My close circle was quite similar, but to be honest, I’ve always felt very supported.

What does the LGBTQ+ community mean to you, and how has it influenced your work?

To me, community means freedom, love, doing what you truly want without harming anyone, loving whoever you want, discovering yourself, and loving yourself as you are. In my work, I don’t feel it has ever had a negative impact.

What advice would you give to young LGBTQ+ individuals aspiring to pursue dance or the arts?

For anyone wanting to follow the path of art or dance, I believe the most important thing is to truly know yourself and understand that there’s always space for everyone in the artistic world. With persistence and good work, something will definitely come your way.
